Internationally acclaimed author and filmmaker Gerritsen grew up dreaming of writing her own Nancy Drew novels. Then while on maternity leave as a physician, she wrote a short story, launching career as a writer.

She is the author of a series of novels featuring homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Maura Isles, which inspired the series “Rizzoli & Isles.” Her books have been translated into 40 languages and more than 40 million copies have been sold around the world.
