Author Biography

Greg McGee originally came to literary attention when he wrote the iconic NZ play Foreskin's Lament. Since then he has had a successful career writing for television, but again broke into the literary consciousness as Alix Bosco winning the inaugural Ngaio Marsh award for crime writing. He also wrote the record-breaking Richie McCaw: The Open Side.
