Donald (Don) Jay Donaldson, who also writes as David Best, was born
in 1940 and is a now retired professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology.
He holds a Ph.D. in human anatomy and his entire academic career
was spent at the University of Tennessee, Health Science Center,
where he published dozens of papers on wound-healing, and taught
microscopic anatomy to thousands of medical and dental
students.
He lives in Memphis, Tennessee with his wife and two West Highland
terriers. In the spring of most years he simply cannot stop buying
new flowers and other plants for the couple’s prized backyard
garden.
He is the author of five medical thrillers and seven forensic
mysteries, the latter featuring the hugely overweight and equally
brilliant New Orleans medical examiner, Andy Broussard, and his
gorgeous psychologist sidekick, Kit Franklyn. Of these it has been
said that they contain `lots of Louisiana color, pinpoint plotting
and two highly likable characters’, whilst the Los Angeles Times
states `the autopsies are detailed enough to make Patricia Cornwell
fans move farther south for their forensic fixes ….. splendidly
eccentric local denizens, authentic New Orleans and bayou
backgrounds’.
Lots of Louisiana color, pinpoint plotting and two highly likable
characters… smart, convincing solution.

dirty.
