Born in 1973, Lisa Fink grew up near Munich, where she still lives today. After secondary school, she began master s studies in German philology, with minors in psychology and philosophy. Today she works as a full-time department head. In her spare time, she is a passionate reader of books of all genres. Since her youth, Lisa has grappled with intense emotional and psychological themes in her writing first in short stories and, in the last several years, novels. This has given birth to compelling crime novels and thrillers that give insight into both the emotions and thoughts of criminals and, conversely, characters who will do anything to fight evil. Repent is her English debut.
