Maxime
Chattam was born in France in 1976. His youth was a time of
travel, notably in the United States where a part of his family
lives. He made his first steps as an actor before giving in
to writing – initially with a play, then with novels.
His background as a criminal science student provided the
inspiration for “L’Ame du Mal”, his first
thriller, which takes place in Portland, Oregon (USA).
Maxime Chattam’s
writing is a mix of suspense and research information, where
the latest forensic technologies are put to the test with
cases all but seemingly impossible to break. Following the
success of his first novel, hailed by critics as a “spectacular
genre renewal”, Maxime Chattam has published a sequel
and is actually working on a new project - a thriller of course!
