Author: Evan Hirst

Evan Hirst brings award-winning screenwriting experience to mysteries shaped by international settings and his adopted home of Paris. His Paris Booksellers Mysteries follow Ava Sext, a Londoner who runs an outdoor bookstall overlooking the Seine, and Henri DeAth, a former notary who assists her investigations. Death in the Louvre follows the opening case as volume two and places Ava amid art, forgery, and hidden history at the museum. Death on the Quai, the third volume, moves the pair onto a film production, where Ava takes a job behind the scenes. Death in Montmartre comes next and continues their cases across Paris neighborhoods. Catalogues describe the books as interconnected standalones, so readers can approach them separately while recurring characters provide continuity. Hirst also writes the Isa Floris thrillers, which combine international settings, ancient mysteries, and supernatural elements. His experience living in different countries gives context for fiction built around visual locations, swift plots, and a protagonist navigating Paris as an adopted home.
