E.M. Westbrook

E.M. Westbrook is the pen name of Dorothy McIntosh, author of four thrillers published by Penguin Random House. Two have received starred reviews from Publishers Weekly. Her debut, The Witch of Babylon, published in twenty countries, was named one of Amazon’s ‘best mysteries and thrillers of the year.’ CNN recognized it among “six enduring historical thrillers” alongside works by Agatha Christie, Umberto Ecco, Dan Brown, Wilbur Smith and Kate Mosse. With The White Wolf she brings her trademark suspense to the untamed wilderness.

In the late 19th century, Margaret Marshall Saunders changed the world with her novel Beautiful Joe, a story that by the late 1930’s sold more than seven million copies, an unheard of feat for the times. That novel helped shift public attitudes toward animal harm. Inspired by that legacy The White Wolf continues the tradition of storytelling that is entertaining but also sparks awareness and change. Eleven years after the shooting of Cecil the lion for a trophy, public concern over that issue has only grown. On a personal level, all her life, a dog has always been by the author’s side.
