MARLIE PARKER WASSERMAN

Marlie Wasserman writes historical crime fiction.

​

Her debut novel, THE MURDERESS MUST DIE, tells the story of Martha Place, the first woman to die in the electric chair.  Her second novel, PATH OF PREY, is a twisty tale of multiple assassins scheming to murder Teddy Roosevelt in 1906 at the Panama Canal.  Her forthcoming novel, INFERNO ON FIFTH,  is based on the true story of a deadly hotel fire in Manhattan in 1899. Before she turned to novels, Marlie ran a university press specializing in nonfiction books in the social sciences and humanities.

​

When she is not writing, Marlie sketches and travels. Topping her bucket list is a visit to each of the United States’ sixty-two national parks. She has visited forty-two to date.

​

Marlie and her husband Mark live in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
