Jd Kirk

Forfatterbiografi

J.D. Kirk er et kriminelt fortællepseudonym for Barry Hutchison fra højlandet i Skotland. Ifølge forfatterens egen præsentation er han født og opvokset i Fort William, og han skriver under flere navne alt efter genre: som Barry Hutchison især bøger for børn, mens han som J.D. Kirk har udviklet sig til en tydelig stemme inden for skotsk krimi og thrillere. J.D. Kirk er kendt for at kombinere politimæssig efterforskning med et mørkt psykologisk spor og for at lade handlingen forankre sig i det skotske miljø. Gennem serien om DCI Jack Logan har J.D. Kirk markeret sig internationalt som forfatter til mange bind i et genkendeligt univers. Colder than the Grave (udgivet på engelsk) er en del af denne serie og viser den samme fokus på mordgåder, spændingsopbygning og personlige konflikter hos efterforskeren. Forfatteren beskriver selv baggrunden for pseudonymet og sin karriere som både forfatter, manuskriptforfatter og tegneseriewriter, hvilket afspejler sig i fortællingernes tempo og dramatiske strukturer. Når J.D. Kirk forbindes med priser og anerkendelser, knytter det sig i kilderne især til Barry Hutchisons samlede arbejde som prisvindende forfatter inden for børnelitteratur og til den succes, der er opnået med krimiforfatternavnet J.D. Kirk.
