Nathan R. Huxley grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and studied journalism at Rutgers University. He covered courts and cops for the Newark Star-Ledger before shifting to freelance investigative work and ghostwriting. A lifelong collector of mechanical puzzles and mid-century lock mechanisms, he has consulted for museums and escape room designers. His fiction blends procedural grit with urban history; earlier novels include The Kettle Job (2018) and Marrow Harbor (2020). He lives in Jersey City with his partner and a rescue mutt, and teaches night classes in narrative nonfiction.
