Rick Yancey
Rick Yancey has been a favorite of critics and fans alike for his first releases: A Burning in Homeland and Confessions of a Tax Collector. Rick's latest novels are the young adult hit The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp and The Highly Effective Detective, the first in a mystery series named by Entertainment Weekly as the hottest mystery title this summer.
Rick's work has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and the Boston Globe, among others.
Rick's young adult creation, Alfred Kropp, has firmly established him within an entirely new demographic. Thrusting Arthurian legend into the 21st Century, the movie rights to The Extraordinary Adventures of Alfred Kropp were recently sold to Warner Brothers Pictures and Akiva Goldsman, producer of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and screenwriter for The Da Vinci Code.
