Jane Gorman

Formerly an anthropologist, then a diplomat, then a park ranger, Jane Gorman now writes murder mysteries. Building on her knowledge of Philadelphia (her home for many years) and her varied experiences, her Adam Kaminski mystery series features a Philly cop who manages to solve complicated murders in far-flung locales, both in the U.S. and overseas.

Gorman’s books paint vivid pictures of the towns and cities where they take place, using knowledge she acquired through years of international travel. She also captures historical significance in each of her books, tying present day murders to anything from recent arguments to decades-old deceptions.

She currently lives in Cherry Hill, NJ, with her husband, who loves traveling even more than she does and has a voracious appetite for life, a cat who is a very picky eater, and a Pointer-Hound mix who wants nothing more out of life than to eat the cat.
