Jodi Compton is from Northern California, but lived for three years in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the main setting for her novels. She has worked for the Minneapolis bureau of the Associated Press, and as a sub-editor at a newspaper on California's central coast. In the latter position, she closely followed crime and courts news on the wires, and during this time wrote her first novel, THE 37TH HOUR.
'The police procedural aspects of the book are gritty, sharply observed ... a page turner with wry surprises.' -- Sunday Age, Australia 'Gripping reading with an assured style. A welcome new writer - this is Compton's second novel - who will surely go far. ' -- Tangled Web 'Compton's debut really promised awesome talent and this well-plotted, addictive follow-up delivers it.' -- Scottish Daily Record 20050226 'Compton is a considerable and rather original talent.' -- Morning Star 20050226 'Not one for those who want blood, bodies and action, but highly recommended for those seeking crime fiction in which the writer builds not only suspense, but well-crafted, credible characters, and has a serious, intellectually stimulating story to tell' -- South China Morning Post 20050226 'Cleverly thought-out tale...With a great plot and characters you can care about, this is definitely one for a great beach read.' -- Dorset Echo 20050423 Praise for Jodi Compton's first novel: 'First-class, serious crime fiction' -- Publishers Weekly 'A gripping piece of storytelling that gets better the deeper the reader gets into it. This could easily hit the bestseller lists. Superb' -- Independent 'An intelligent and challenging thriller' -- New York Times Book Review 'A dazzling debut' -- Kirkus Reviews (starred) 'Compton is a considerable and rather original talent.' -- Morning Star
