C.E. Hansen

C.E. Hansen writes at the intersection of high-stakes power and the hidden truths of the city. With a keen eye for the "invisibles" and a fascination with the psychological acoustics of trauma, Hansen’s thrillers explore the thin line between justice and obsession.

A native observer of the urban maelstrom, Hansen’s work is defined by a "Silk and Gravel" aesthetic—where Manhattan luxury meets the unvarnished reality of the courtroom. In addition to the legal tension of A Sliver of Doubt, Hansen is the author of It's A Crime, It's A Shame, Act Accordingly, Faithless, Ever Sarah, and Where I Found My Heart, further establishing a reputation for building high-tension narratives around characters made of stone and the advocates brave enough to make them bleed. The 2024 Revised Edition of A Sliver of Doubt represents Hansen’s definitive, sharpened vision of the Jackson trial.

Expanding beyond the world of suspense, Hansen is also the author of the young adult novel Unlikely Hero and the heartwarming children's book One Acorn, One Tree, One Friendship.
