林伍德.巴克萊 Linwood Barclay
已婚,育有二子,現居多倫多。曾在加拿大發行量第一的主流媒體《多倫多星報》擔任記者、編輯,後成為該報最受歡迎的幽默專欄作家,退休後專職寫作。
林伍德出生於美國,父親是一名商業藝術家,其汽車插畫常出現在《LIFE》、《LOOK》、《週末晚郵》等刊物中。後來他父親因接受加拿大一家廣告公司的聘僱,不到四歲的林伍德隨家人遷居加拿大。在林伍德青少年時期,其雙親帶著他搬離多倫多郊區,到美麗的卡沃薩湖區經營度假村及拖車營區,這段生活對林伍德有深刻的影響。二○○一年,他出版一本成長回憶錄《最後的度假村》(直譯,Last Resort),描述有趣又心酸的鄉間生活,此書被列入「史帝芬李科克幽默文學獎」(Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour)的精選名單中。二○○四年,他開始出版推理小說系列,《搬錯家》(直譯,Bad Move)、《壞蛋》(直譯,Bad Guys)、《孤狼》(直譯,Lone Wolf)和《石雨》(直譯,Stone Rain)。他的第一本單行本驚悚小說No Time for Goodbye於二○○七年出版,不僅獲得評論家的肯定,在全球也造成轟動。
《目擊者》是林伍德至今的代表作。不僅榮獲史蒂芬.金、泰絲.格里森等眾多名家盛讚力薦,更引爆環球及華納兄弟影業競價改編電影版權,林伍德也因此躍上Variety雜誌封面。

Tim Blake is an average guy. He sells cars. He has an ex-wife who’s moved in with another man. It’s not a life without hassles, but nothing will prepare him for when his daughter, Sydney, vanishes into thin air.
At the hotel where she supposedly worked, no one has ever heard of her. Even her closest friends seem to be at a loss. As he retraces Sydney’s steps, Tim discovers that the suburban Connecticut town he always thought of as idyllic is anything but. What he doesn’t know is that his every move is being watched. There are others who want to find Sydney as much as Tim does. And the closer Tim comes to the truth, the closer he comes to every parent’s worst nightmare—and the kind of evil only a parent’s love has a chance in hell of stopping.
