J. Todd Scott spent more than two decades as a DEA agent before turning to fiction. His novels draw on that experience, particularly his years along the U.S.-Mexico border where drug trafficking, violence, and the complicated lives of people caught up in it all provided raw material for his stories.
His Chris Cherry series follows a sheriff in a Big Bend border town, while his standalone novels expand into broader territory. Scott writes with the kind of lived-in detail that only comes from someone who has actually been there.
