Jim Hougan has won awards for his investigative journalism. He is the author of three nonfiction books: Decadence, a philosophical investigation of the 1960's counter-culture; Spooks, about American Intelligence community, and Secret Agenda, a revisionist look at the Watergate Affair. With his wife Carolyn, he has written six thrillers under the pseudonym John Case, including the international bestseller The Genesis Code and, most recently, The Murder Artist and Dance of Death. He and his wife live near Charlottesville, Virginia.

Scary, compulsive stuff.' Independent on Sunday 'A sizzling thriller... well-written and extremely gripping' Daily Mail * 'Cracks along... more than enough murder, mayhem and scientific mystery to keep the reader entertained' Sunday Telegraph
