About the Author
Hannah Morrissey is the USA Today Best Selling Author of the Black Harbor Suspense Series. A three-decade survivor of Wisconsin winters, Hannah enjoys putting her characters (and readers) in bone-chilling atmospheres that permeate beyond the page. Naturally, her books have carved out their own sub-genre of 'Midwestern Noir'. Between roles of bookseller and copywriter, Hannah was inspired to write her debut novel while transcribing reports for her local police department. Far from home in a grim, crime-ridden city, it was her job to sit alone in the dead of night, listen, and type as detectives divulged the city's darkest secrets. There, she realized that every case was a story, and every story started with the same two words: 'Hello, Transcriber.'
