Paul Bishop
Biography
The Los Angeles Times has called Paul Bishop ‘the closest equivalent of Joe Wambaugh yet,’ and stated Hot Pursuit ‘could hardly be better.’ The New York Times proclaimed him a ‘first-class writer,’ and called Deep Water a ‘lively, bloody adventure.’ Publishers' Weekly cited Croaker: Kill Me Again, as ‘gripping, intense, labyrinthine, complex, and compelling.’ And author Dominick Dunne declared Croaker: Grave Sins to be a ‘tough, taut, terrific tale!’
A thirty-five year veteran of a major west coast metropolitan police department, Paul’s career has included a three year tour as an interrogator with the department's Anti-Terrorist Division and over twenty-five years experience in the investigation of sex crimes. For the past eight years, his various Special Assaults Units have consistently produced the highest number of detective initiated arrests and highest crime clearance rate in the city. Twice honored as Detective of the Year for his skills as an interrogator, Paul has also received the Quality and Productivity Commission Award from the City of Los Angeles.
As a nationally recognized interrogator, Paul co-stars with his professional partner, bestselling author and prosecutor, Mary Hanlon Stone, as the regular interrogators and driving force behind the new hit ABC reality show Take The Money And Run from producers Bertram Van Munster and Jerry Bruckheimer. Paul and Mary will also be sharing their experience and expertise in their forthcoming book: How ToTell When Your Teen Is Lying.
Paul’s novels include Hot Pursuit, Deep Water, Penalty Shot, Suspicious Minds, the short story collection Running Wylde, and five novels in his L.A.P.D. Detective Fey Croaker series – Croaker: Kill Me Again, Croaker: Grave Sins, Croaker: Tequila Mockingbird, Croaker: Chalk Whispers, and Croaker: Pattern of Behavior.
Paul has also written feature film scripts and numerous episodic scripts for television, including such shows as Diagnosis: Murder, LA Dragnet, The New Detectives, and Navy Seals: The Untold Stories.
His new novel, Felony Fists, will be available in August. He can be found blogging at www.bishsbeat.blogspot.com/ and tweeting via twitter@bishsbeat
