Les Standiford Biography

Les Standiford is the best-selling author of 20 books, including the novels Bone Key and Havana Run, and the critically acclaimed works of non-fiction, Last Train to Paradise: Henry Flagler and the Spectacular Rise and Fall of the Railroad that Crossed an Ocean; Meet You in Hell: Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick and the Bitter Partnership that Transformed America, which was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award; The Man Who Invented Christmas: How Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol Rescued His Career and Revived Our Holiday Spirits (a New York Times Editors' Choice book); and most recently, Bringing Adam Home: The Abduction that Changed America (Ecco). His sought-after keynote lectures at organizations from universities to historical clubs focus on subjects ranging from his research into famous historical figures to advice on how to become a best-selling author.

The abduction that changed America forever, the 1981 kidnapping and murder of six-year-old Adam Walsh -- son of John Walsh, host of the Fox TV series America's Most Wanted -- in Hollywood, Florida, was a crime that went unsolved for a quarter of a century. Standiford offers, in Bringing Adam Home and in his presentations, a harrowing account of the terrible crime and its dramatic consequences, the emotional story of a father and mother's efforts to seek justice and resolve the loss of their child, and a compelling portrait of Miami Beach Homicide Detective Joe Matthews, whose unwavering dedication brought the Adam Walsh case to its resolution.

Standiford has received the Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Award, the Frank O'Connor Award for Short Fiction, and Fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities. A native Ohioan, he is a graduate of Muskingum College and holds an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Utah. He is Professor of English and Director of the Creative Writing Program at Florida International University in Miami, where he lives with his wife and their two children.
