John Scherber

John Scherber, a Minnesota native, settled in Mexico in 2007. He is the author of ten Paul Zacher mysteries (The Murder in Mexico series), set in the old colonial hill town of San Miguel de Allende, named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. In addition, two volumes of the Townshend Vampire Trilogy have appeared, as well as his award-winning nonfiction account of the expatriate experience, San Miguel de Allende: A Place in the Heart.

His work is known for its fast pace, irreverent humor, and light-hearted excursions into the worlds of art and antiques––always with a cutting edge of suspense. Neither highbrow nor lowbrow, his books are written as entertainments, and dedicated to the fun of reading. While he has acknowledged being no single one of his characters, he also admits to being all of them.
