Keith McCarthy

In the day job I'm a consultant histopathologist, cytopathologist and morbid anatomist; that means I diagnose diseases in living patients from tissue biopsies, tissue excisions and fluid samples (looking for atypical cells). Until recently (until ill-health) I performed autopsies to find the cause of unexpected death. Over the past 15 years I've published 15 novels and 10 short stories, mostly in the genre of forensic thriller and mystery, some a little bit removed from that. I've always tried to be as accurate in my depiction of how pathologists work as I can be. Also, I can't help it but they're also a tiny bit British.

I'm delighted that Endeavour have now republished all but one of my previous Eisenmenger Mysteries as ebooks - and have just published the latest - TO MOURN A MISCHIEF - please read and rate it on Amazon. I have also published independently - THE MISTAKE. Please also check out my website (keithmccarthy.co.uk) for more info and some stuff about pathology, or if you want to contact me.
