He was raised in New York City, on the Upper West Side, and graduated from the High School of Music and Art. He attended CCNY in NY, and the Art Students League of New York.
He worked for the New York Times as a production manager in Editorial Art for many years. He has also taught creative writing in New York and California.
The authors descriptive writing kept me glued to the book. I became a part of the script. You become so involved in the characters that you don't want to put the book down. I thought it was wonderful and would read more Graham Diamond's novels.
Exciting story set in New York City. A smart woman detective facing a terrorist named Armageddon. Fast action, well written. Ahead of its time in the terrorist/police genre.
This is a standalone, British police procedural type book, the main character is on a terrorism task force. It was an enjoyable book, thriller rather than mystery but it kept me guessing to almost the end of the book. I liked that the main character was female, which was unusual for a book on the subject matter. It is a quick entertaining read.
