Mark Arsenault

Mark Arsenault is a Shamus-nominated mystery writer, a journalist, a runner, hiker, political junkie and eBay fanatic who collects memorabilia from the 1939 New York World’s Fair. His latest novel is LOOT THE MOON, the second book in the Billy Povich series that began with GRAVEWRITER, a noir thriller praised for a fusion of suspense, humor and human tenderness. Arsenault's debut novel, SPIKED, (2003, Poisoned Pen Press) was a finalist for the Shamus Award for Best First Mystery. With 20 years of experience as a print reporter, Arsenault is one of those weird cranks who still prefers his news on paper. When he’s not at his keyboard, you might find him backpacking up the side of a mountain.
