Brian Wiprud is a New York City-based crime fiction author whose books are known for blending mystery with dark humor. His debut novel Pipsqueak (2002) introduced readers to Garth Carson, a taxidermy collector whose pursuit of a stuffed-squirrel puppet leads him into a tangled web of crime. The book won the Lefty Award for Best Humorous Mystery and earned Wiprud a multi-book deal with Random House.
Beyond the Garth Carson series, Wiprud has written several standalone crime novels including Sleep with the Fishes, Crooked, and Feelers. He has also published the Linsenbigler series of books and a nonfiction work, Making the Dawn Welcome (1999). His writing style combines offbeat characters, New York City settings, and plots that balance suspense with comedy.
