Edward Humes

Edward Humes is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author whose fourteen previous books include "Garbology", "Mississippi Mud", and the PEN Award-winning "No Matter How Loud I Shout". As a narrative nonfiction writer, he spends months, sometimes years, immersed in the lives and worlds of his characters. He gravitates most often toward human stories about the justice system, science, nature and sustainability. Sometimes these subjects intersect in the same book. "The Forever Witness" is about the disappearance and murder of a young couple, a 32-year-old cold-case investigation, and the emergence of a revolutionary new crime-fighting science, genetic genealogy. He splits his time between Seattle and Southern California. Visit his website.
