J.C. Moore is the bestselling author of the Shadow Bay mysteries, the Frank Mallory thrillers, and the No Safe Place series.

His books blend crime fiction, suspense, and psychological tension, often featuring small towns with dark secrets, missing persons, serial killers, and ordinary people forced into impossible situations.

Influenced by writers such as Robert B. Parker, Michael Connelly, Karin Slaughter, Lee Child, and James Patterson, Moore writes fast-paced stories driven by character, consequence, and the choices people make under pressure.

Before becoming a full-time author, he worked as a bartender, IT technician, touring musician, horse farm manager, and restaurant owner. His music has appeared in television and film.
