Brian McDonald writes crime fiction that lingers in the gray areas – where right and wrong blur and every choice has a cost. He is the author of two self-published novels, The Defenders, and its sequel, The Virtue of Vengeance. Drawn to the darker edges of human behavior, he crafts thrillers that explore motive, morality, and the consequences of choice.

When he’s not writing, he enjoys riding his Harley Street Glide, hiking with his dog, and playing golf. He lives in Bloomington, Illinois with his wife Cathy and their Italian Spinone, Franki.
