R.T. Lund grew up near the shores of Lake Superior. His writing is informed by a variety of mishaps and experiences, including jobs as a lawyer, judge and corporate executive, and by his love of northeastern Minnesota. A graduate of Hamilton College in upstate New York with a degree in English literature, Lund now lives in a suburb of the Twin Cities with his wife, Ann, and golden doodle, Charley. The Ghost is his fourth novel, though he is hard at work on the final installment of the Lake Superior Mystery Trilogy.
