Sue Henry

Sue Henry (1940) is a writer of mystery thriller fiction. She was also a college administrator and instructor at the University of Alaska and has lived in Alaska since the 1970s.[1][2][3]

Her first book Murder on the Iditarod Trail (1991), was well reviewed and won both the Macavity Awards and Anthony Awards for best first novel, prompting the author to develop a series based on this book's characters, Alaskan state trooper Alex Jensen and Jessie Arnold, a sled dog racer. In 2005 she started a new mystery series featuring a 63-year-old widow, Maxine McNab, travelling in her Winnebago with a miniature dachshund, Stretch. Maxine had appeared in Dead North (2001) in the first series. Henry went on the road to research the book.[4]

Murder on the Iditarod Trail was filmed for television as The Cold Heart of a Killer (1996) starring Kate Jackson, who bought the rights to the book.[5][6]

All maps for her books starting with Dead North (2001) were made by her son, Eric Henry.
