Gary
Kinder
- True Crime
Gary Kinder is the author of the true crime
classic
Victim: The Other Side of Murder (1980). The book is based
on the real characters and events of a 1974 murder in Ogden, Utah and has been
cited by reviewers as a pioneering work for being one of the first true crime
books that focused on the victims rather than on the perpetrators of a violent
crime. Kinder also wrote
Light Years: An Investigation into the
Extraterrestrial Experiences of Eduard Meier (1987) and the
The New York
Times bestseller
Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea (1988).
Ship
of Gold narrates the story of the side-wheel steamer SS Central
America which sank in 1857 off the Carolina coast and has become the object of
a feverish hunt by treasure seekers. In addition to writing books, Kinder
teaches legal writing to lawyers and judges and in 2012 founded the
software company 'WordRake' which pioneered an automated editing program.
