Reece HirschReece Hirsch's first book, The Insider, was a finalist for the 2011 International Thriller Writers Award for Best First Novel. Like The Adversary, that book draws upon his experiences as an attorney -- although his legal work is a lot less exciting ad hazardous than that of his character Chris Bruen. Hirsch is a partner in the San Francisco office of an international law firm, specializing in privacy and data security law. He is also a member of the board of directors of 826 National (www.826National.org). Hirsch lives in the Bay Area with his wife and a small, unruly dog. www.reecehirsch.com Read More Read Less
