Luca Veste is a British crime fiction author based in Liverpool. He is of Italian-Sicilian heritage, and his books are firmly rooted in the Liverpool area. His DI Murphy and DS Rossi series, which ran from 2013 to 2016, follows two detectives through murder investigations in the city, and the Scouse setting is as much a character as the detectives themselves.

After completing the five-book Murphy and Rossi series, Veste moved to standalone thrillers. The Bone Keeper (2019) drew on local folklore, while You Never Said Goodbye (2022) and Trust In Me (2023) expanded his range. He has also been active in the short fiction and anthology scene, contributing to several crime fiction collections early in his career.
