With her books having sold over 40 million copies worldwide, Gerritsen's last thriller Last to Die was a top 10 Sunday Times bestseller.

As an anthropology student at Stanford University, Gerritsen catalogued centuries-old human remains, and continues to travel the world, driven by her fascination with ancient cultures and bizarre natural phenomena. She is now a full-time novelist, living with her husband in Maine.
