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 PERIL, is a twisty tale of multiple assassins scheming to murder Teddy Roosevelt in 1906 at the Panama Canal.  Her newest novel, INFERNO ON FIFTH,  is based on the true story of a deadly hotel fire in Manhattan in 1899. In early 2026 she will publish her fourth novel, FIRST DAUGHTER, centered around the imagined kidnapping of Grover Cleveland's child. 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-four national parks. She has visited forty-four to date.

​

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