Geri L. Dreiling writes mysteries with grit. A lawyer and award-winning journalist, she brings courtroom drama and a relentless pursuit of truth to every page. Her Debbie Bradley series—Crime Beat Girl and The Poison Dart—dives deep into justice, secrets, and the stories we bury. Her standalone novel Erasing the Past explores how far we’ll go to rewrite our own history.

She’s taught media law, reported on the justice system, and worked both sides of the legal aisle. Now she channels it all into fiction that’s sharp, suspenseful, and emotionally charged.

Geri lives in St. Louis with her husband and a rescue Schnoodle who thinks he runs the show. Her grown children are off chasing their own adventures, while she continues chasing stories that won’t let go.
