Scott Graham writes mysteries set against the dramatic landscapes of America’s national parks. His National Park Mystery series, which began in 2014 with Canyon Sacrifice, follows archaeologist Chuck Bender as he stumbles into criminal investigations while working at sites across the American West. Each novel takes place in a different park, giving readers both a murder mystery and a tour of some of the country’s most famous wilderness areas.
Before turning to fiction, Graham wrote non-fiction about outdoor adventure and travel, including guides to backpacking in developing countries and adventure travel in Latin America. His background in outdoor writing gives his mystery novels an authentic sense of place, with detailed descriptions of the terrain, wildlife, and history of each park setting.
