Dead at Third

Gregory Payette writes crime fiction, mysteries, and thrillers and is the author of the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series. His crime fiction includes Drag the Man Down, Half Cocked, Danny Womack's .38, and the new Joe Sheldon series.

He spent the early part of his career in marketing and advertising, plus wrote fundraising letters and emails for nonprofits. He got his feet wet as an author writing nonfiction books, but soon realized making up stories for a living was much more fun.

His books and short stories include fun and exciting mysteries with plenty of twists and turns, plus his thrilling crime fiction novels, always with plenty of heart-pounding action and a touch of dark humor.

Raised in the tiny state of Rhode Island in southeastern New England, today Gregory lives in North Carolina with his wife and kids and his dog, Jake.
