Luke McCallin is a historical crime fiction writer best known for the Gregor Reinhardt series. McCallin grew up in Africa, worked in humanitarian aid and peacekeeping operations, and served with the United Nations in places like Sarajevo. That firsthand experience with conflict zones and post-war societies shaped the settings and themes of his fiction.
The Gregor Reinhardt series follows a German intelligence officer who investigates crimes during and after World War II. The Man from Berlin (2013) is set in occupied Sarajevo, where Reinhardt looks into the murders of a local woman and a German officer. Later books move to other European locations as the war progresses and then ends, with Reinhardt navigating the political dangers of investigating crimes when every institution around him is compromised. McCallin’s writing draws heavily on real history and geography, giving the novels a strong sense of place and period.
