HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN

Hank Phillippi Ryan is the USAToday bestselling author of 14 psychological thrillers, winning the most prestigious awards in the genre: five Agathas, five Anthonys, and the coveted Mary Higgins Clark Award. She is also the on-air investigative reporter for Boston’s WHDH-TV, with 37 EMMYs and dozens more journalism honors. National book critics call her “a superb and gifted storyteller”; she’s the only author to win the Agatha in four different categories: Best First, Best Novel, Best Short Story, and Best Non-Fiction. Her newest is the page-turning standalone thriller The House Guest, a story of psychological manipulation that explores the dark heart of marriage and friendship—it’s Gaslight meets Thelma and Louise. Bestselling author Lisa Scottoline says, “Ryan is one of my favorite authors and The House Guest shows why.” EMMY-winning host Tamron Hall says, “The House Guest kept me on the edge of my seat...” The Publishers Weekly rave review says, “Ryan is a master of suspense!” and the Library Journal starred review calls it “Bingeworthy.”
