About the author

J.A. Keating practiced law in Philadelphia for twenty-two years before turning to fiction. A lifelong resident of the Philadelphia suburbs, he grew up in Broomall, Delaware County, attended Marple-Newtown High School, and now lives in Chester County with his family.

He holds a Bachelors degree in Computer Science from Saint Joseph’s University and a Juris Doctorate degree from Widener University School of Law. His legal career spanning construction litigation, surety law, and corporate compliance gave him an instinct for buried facts, institutional cover-ups, and the patience it takes to find the truth underneath.
