Three-time Edgar Award winner T. Jefferson Parker will be making his 15th appearance at the festival, this time with "Wild Instinct," which was released in November. It is his 30th novel, all centered in Southern California where he lives.
T. Jefferson Parker is his given name, but the "T" doesn't stand for anything. His mother thought the name would look good on presidential stationary. Parker was a reporter for the Daily Pilot in Newport Beach before becoming an author. He received our Founders Award in 2024.
Awards: Edgar Award, Tucson Festival of Books Founder's Award, Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Best Crime Novel, Shamus Award for Best PI Novel
