Aaron Philip Clark

USA TODAY best-selling author Aaron Philip Clark returns with The Bluest Night, an emotionally charged thriller that marks the third chapter in his acclaimed Detective Trevor Finnegan series.

This time, the stakes are personal for Detective Finnegan. When his half-brother disappears and his girlfriend is found dead, Trevor is drawn into a chilling mystery that forces him to confront a conspiracy so deadly and vile, he may not survive.

Following his high-profile collaboration with Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson on The Accomplice, Clark continues to push the boundaries of crime fiction. His bold storytelling—blending suspense, psychological depth, and sharp social commentary on an ever-changing world—has earned widespread acclaim from critics and loyal readers alike.

Clark launched the Trevor Finnegan series with Under Color of Law, a searing police thriller published by Thomas & Mercer and inspired by his own experiences in law enforcement. The novel follows a Black LAPD detective investigating the murder of a young Black academy recruit amid protests and calls for reform. It earned the 2021 Book Pipeline Adaptation Award and a nomination for the 2022 Best Paperback Original from the International Thriller Writers.

The second installment, Blue Like Me, released on November 8, 2022, further cemented Clark’s reputation as one of crime fiction’s most vital voices.
