Jill Paterson is best known for her popular Fitzjohn Mystery Series. Set in the city of Sydney, her richly drawn characters include DCI Alistair Fitzjohn. A police officer of the old guard, Fitzjohn's methodical, painstaking methods are viewed by some as archaic. Nevertheless, over the years, they have brought him success as well as the respect of all but one of his colleagues, his nemesis, Chief Superintendent Grieg. While continuing the Fitzjohn series, Jill is also working on a new series, the Phoebe Chadwick Mysteries. Set along the east coast of Australia in a small township, Phoebe heads the cast of characters as the female sleuth. When not writing, Jill explores settings for her books and enjoys painting, photography and tai chi.
