Danielle Girard has been writing thrillers and suspense novels since 2000, when her debut Savage Art was published. Over more than two decades, she has built up a body of work that includes multiple series and standalone novels, all focused on crime and the people who investigate it.
Her Rookie Club series follows women in law enforcement, while the Dr. Schwartzman books center on a forensic pathologist drawn into dangerous cases. The Badlands Thriller trilogy is set in the harsh landscape of North Dakota, where isolated communities and brutal weather add extra tension to already gripping stories. Girard’s early standalone novels helped establish her reputation, and she continues to write new books in the genre.
