Before earning an MFA in fiction writing, Tom Seigel was Chief of the Justice Department’s Organized Crime Strike Force in Brooklyn. He’s prosecuted mob bosses, corrupt cops, murderers, and even an NBA referee. His first novel, The Astronaut’s Son, was a medalist in the 2018 Foreword Reviews Book of the Year Awards and a finalist for the 2019 Connecticut Book of the Year. About his debut, Publishers Weekly praised: ＂Equally strong on plotting and characterization, Seigel does better than many other thriller writers in making his lead’s pain and uncertainty about the past palpable. Mensa Bulletin raved the book would ＂keep you on the edge of your seat all the way through.＂ Tom lives with his family in Connecticut.
