Howard Levinson's background is anything but conventional. Starting off as an urban paramedic, he transitioned to crime fighting and spent nearly four decades in law enforcement and corporate investigations with assignments to homicide, organized crime, narcotics, terrorism, healthcare fraud and disaster response. He has received numerous awards and commendations from the US Attorney's Office, DOJ, DEA, ATF, FBI and NDMS. Levinson uses this broad brush of life experience to craft visceral, entertaining and at times, frightening stories.
