Author bio

Andrew Gross was born in Manhattan in 1952 and grew up in New York, attending the Barnard School for Boys in Riverdale. Books were part of his life early, but so was business. His family was deeply tied to the garment trade, and after earning an English degree from Middlebury College and a master's degree from Columbia, he headed into the apparel world instead of the writing life.

That first career took him all over the place. He worked as a dress buyer in Denver, tried opening a soup-and-stew shop, helped run sportswear companies, and spent years inside the pressures of family business. It was solid, demanding work, but it was not where he was going to stay.

He came to fiction late.

Gross spent years writing on the side and working his way through rejection. His first completed thriller, Hydra, did not sell. Just as he was close to giving up, he got a call from James Patterson. That led to a partnership that changed his life, and Gross went on to co-write five number one bestsellers with Patterson, including 2nd Chance, 3rd Degree, The Jester, Lifeguard, and Judge & Jury.

Those books fit him well. Gross liked momentum, danger, and short chapters that keep pulling you forward, but he also liked the messier part of suspense, families under strain, loyalties tested, and the way one bad decision can spread through an entire life. Even in the big commercial thrillers, that human pressure is what gives the stories weight.

His solo novels made that even clearer. The Blue Zone announced him as a writer who could take an ordinary life and shove it into panic. Then came The Dark Tide, Don't Look Twice, and Reckless, which introduced readers to Ty Hauck and used the wealthy towns around Greenwich, Connecticut, as a backdrop for crimes tied to money, status, and secrets. Later books like 15 Seconds, No Way Back, and Everything to Lose kept returning to a Gross specialty, decent people trapped inside systems far bigger and dirtier than they first appear.

He also knew when to change lanes.

In the last stretch of his career, Gross turned toward historical thrillers and more personal material. The One Man, inspired in part by his father-in-law's wartime history, sends an American intelligence officer into Auschwitz to rescue a physicist. The Saboteur follows Norwegian resistance fighters trying to wreck the Nazi nuclear program. Button Man / The Last Brother reaches even closer to home, drawing on his family's connection to New York's garment industry and the mob pressure that shadowed it. The Fifth Column stays in the same broad territory, mixing American life, fascist sympathy, and wartime fear.

Readers tend to come to Gross for pace, but they stay for something sturdier. His best books are not just about chases or twists. They are about fathers and daughters, brothers, marriages, old shame, and the cost of surviving what other people do to you.

Gross lived in Westchester County, New York, with his wife, Lynn, and they had three children. He died at his home in Purchase, New York, in April 2025. By then he had built a body of work that moved easily from suburban suspense to wartime espionage, while keeping the same clear promise to readers, trouble is coming fast, and it will feel personal.
