Michael A. Kahn is an accomplished American author, particularly of mystery novels. He is best known for his Rachel Gold series, which features a St. Louis attorney as the main character. Kahn's own background is similarly steeped in the law; he is a trial lawyer, a professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis, and an expert in Intellectual Property and First Amendment law. His legal expertise and experience as a litigating attorney provide the basis for the plot lines in his legal thriller/mystery novels.
Kahn's journey to becoming a published author began as a challenge from his wife, who encouraged him to write a better book than the ones he was reading. This challenge led to the creation of his first novel, "GRAVE DESIGNS," and the beginning of the Rachel Gold series. In addition to his work on the Rachel Gold series, Kahn has also written three stand-alone novels and numerous short stories. His writing style is known for its sharp dialogue, wit, and clever plotting.
Beyond his work as an author and lawyer, Kahn is also an adjunct professor of law at Washington University in St. Louis, where he teaches a class on censorship and free expression. He is married to his high school sweetheart and is a father and grandfather. Despite his many professional and personal commitments, Kahn remains dedicated to his craft and continues to produce engaging and thought-provoking novels.
