NHBF Author: Hank Phillippi Ryan

Hank Phillippi Ryan is USA Today bestselling author of 16 psychological thrillers, winning the most prestigious awards in the genre: five Agathas, five Anthonys, and the coveted Mary Higgins Clark Award. She is also on-air investigative reporter for Boston’s WHDH-TV, with 37 EMMYs and dozens more journalism honors for her groundbreaking journalism and true crime stories. National book critics call her “a superb and gifted storyteller.” Her current novel is One Wrong Word, a twisty story of gaslighting, manipulation, and murder.

Hank is on the board of International Thriller Writers, a sought-after teacher and keynote speaker, and host of three popular online live events: THE BACK ROOM, CRIME TIME on A Mighty Blaze, and FIRST CHAPTER FUN. She lives in Boston with her husband, a nationally renowned criminal defense attorney. 

Her next novel, All This Could be Yours, comes out in September from Minotaur Books. People Magazine called it “A nail-biting thriller.” 

The NHBF keynote will be a conversation between Hank and Walter Mosley. 

This author is scheduled to appear at the NH Book Festival which will be held at the Capitol Center for the Arts & NHBF Festival Village on South Main Street in Concord, NH on October 3-4, 2025.
