Alix Bosco is a crime fiction writer from Auckland, New Zealand.

Life

'Alix Bosco is the pseudonym of New Zealand writer Greg McGee, as revealed in the Sunday Star Times on August 14, 2011. McGee writes in a variety of other media, and therefore wanted to keep his crime-writing persona separate.

Writing

In August 2009 Alix Bosco's first thriller novel, Cut & Run, was published in New Zealand by Penguin Books and won the inaugural Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Crime Novel in 2010. The novel is the first in a planned series set in Auckland and starring legal researcher Anna Markunas. The second novel Slaughter Falls is a finalist in the 2011 Ngaio Marsh Award.

Reviews

"Oh, it was such fun playing spot-the-Kiwi-celeb in this cracking thriller from Alix Bosco. A rugby star is found dead, murdered while making love to a beautiful woman. Mikky St Clair is a gorgeous media tart, famous for being famous and for her conquests. Sound like anyone you might have seen in the social pages?" Kerre Woodham, Paper Plus Book Talk
