Troy "The Plot Dude" Lambert

Troy Lambert is a prolific mystery and thriller author with a sharp eye for suspense and a love for dark, twisty storytelling. With over thirty books to his name—including the acclaimed Max Boucher Mystery Series, The Capital City Murders, and The Dog Complex—Troy has built a universe where flawed heroes chase truth through morally gray terrain and danger lurks in every chapter.

His work blends psychological depth, procedural grit, and emotional realism, earning praise from fans of authors like Dean Koontz, Michael Connelly, and Tana French. Whether exploring cold cases, supernatural conspiracies, or the twisted heart of small-town secrets, Troy delivers fiction that moves you—and might just mess with your head.

When he’s not writing thrillers, Troy enjoys teaching and mentoring other writers, speaking at conferences, and exploring the backroads and mountains of Boise, Idaho, often accompanied by his German Shepherd, McClane. He’s a firm believer that stories can change people, and his fiction reflects that mission: to entertain, to challenge, and to uncover the truths that hide in the dark.
