Bruce Robert Coffin is an international bestselling novelist and former detective sergeant with more than twenty-seven years in law enforcement. At the time of his retirement, from the Portland, Maine police department, he supervised all homicide and violent crime investigations for Maine’s largest city. Following the terror attacks of September 11th, Bruce spent four years working counter-terrorism with the FBI, earning the Director’s Award, the highest honor a non-agent can receive. Bruce is the author of the Detective Byron mysteries, The Turner and Mosley Files (with bestselling author LynDee Walker), and the forthcoming Detective Justice mysteries (November 2025). Winner of Killer Nashville’s Silver Falchion Awards for Best Procedural, and Best Investigator, and the Maine Literary Award for Best Crime Fiction Novel, Bruce was also a finalist for the Agatha Award for Best Contemporary Novel. An Anthony Award nominated short fiction writer, his stories have been published in more than fifteen anthologies, including Best American Mystery Stories 2016. “Authentic and gripping.” — Joseph Wambaugh, bestselling author of The Onion Field “The Detective Byron mystery series is one of the finest to arrive in a long time.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Douglas Preston “…reads like the real deal—a tale of trial and redemption…like a well-worn holster, smooth, fast and ultimately deadly.”—Craig Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of the Longmire mysteries. “Brock Justice is a protagonist worth following.”—Paul Doiron, bestselling author of the Mike Bowditch mysteries “…a superb police procedural, gripping and tight…it pops off the page.”—Lou Berney, Edgar Award-winning author of Crooks “First rate, suspenseful, and highly entertaining.”— New York Times Bestselling Author Gayle Lynds Award-winning author Hank Phillippi Ryan had this to say about Beneath the Depths, “Terrific! Fast-talking, smart, and cinematic, this entertaining page-turner is so knowingly authentic only a genuine cop turned storyteller could have written it.” “A superior, Connelly-esque procedural that ratchets up the tension page by page.”—New York Times Bestselling Author Reed Farrel Coleman “Coffin’s layered characters almost leap off the page to sit in your lap,”—Tracy Clark, award-winning author of the Cass Raines Chicago Mystery series and the Detective Harriet Foster series “Flawless prose, witty dialogue, startling twists. Authenticity seeps from every page. Unforgettable.” — K.J. Howe, internationally bestselling author of Skyjack “I rank Coffin among the luminaries of the genre - right beside Wambaugh, McBain, and John Ball.” — LA Times bestselling author Baron R.
