Dexter E MarksThe author was born in Harlem (USA), raised in the Bronx, and educated both at the City College of New York and the University of Chicago. He resides in central New Jersey and teaches literature and writing. Physco Jihad is his first novel but he doen't intend for it to be his last. He finds the espionage genre, the defining genre of his youth, with the emergence of the original James Bond series, The Man from Uncle, The Avengers, and everything in between, most suited to his imagination. He believes the single most perfect manifestation of espionage literature is Len Deighton's Ipcress File. His goal remains to write something as good as that because good writing while a struggle to produce is a joy to read. Read More Read Less
