Allan EvansAllan Evans writes the twisty thrillers your friends warn you not to start before bed. He's the author of two other Cade Dawkins thrillers, Killer Blonde and Killer Smile, along with several young adult and middle-grade novels-including Abnormally Abey, Class Clown, and Spook Squad, which have earned him a wonderfully surprising number of young readers who think he's cooler than he probably is.Allan's diverse professional background-encompassing undercover investigator, bodyguard, advertising creative, and more-provides the raw material behind the realism and edge of his crime fiction.
