D.W. Buffa was born in San Francisco and raised in the Bay Area.
After graduation from Michigan State University, he studied under
Leo Strauss, Joseph Cropsey and Hans J. Morgenthau at the
University of Chicago where he earned both an M.A. and a Ph. D. in
political science. He received his J.D. degree from Wayne State
University in Detroit. Buffa was a criminal defense attorney for 10
years and his seven Joseph Antonelli novels reflect that
experience.
The New York Times called The Defense 'an accomplished first novel'
which 'leaves you wanting to go back to the beginning and read it
over again.' The Judgment was nominated for the Edgar Award for
best novel of the year.
D.W. Buffa lives in Northern California. You can visit his Official

Praise for the novels of D.W. Buffa
“Buffa's characters are compelling; the dialogue authentic and well
crafted. With the current political upheaval, Buffa’s newest novel
hits home in more ways than one. The author draws on his own
experience as a criminal defense attorney to render realistic
courtroom proceedings. Highly recommended for lovers of legal and
political thrillers.” ―Library Journal (Starred Review)
"Expect NECESSITY to appear on numerous “Best of” lists, both
because of and in spite of what it is. One cannot walk away from a
Buffa novel without feeling educated to at least some extent and
entertained to the fullest.” ―Bookreporter
"In the grand tradition of courtroom thrillers, there’s a whopper
of a reveal as the last witness is called. Fans of political
thrillers and courtroom dramas, as well as those who can’t get
enough of the latest headlines, will race through this one.”
―Booklist
"An accomplished first novel... it ends with a couple of twists
that are really shocking. And it leaves you wanting to go back to
the beginning and read it again.” ―The New York Times on The
Defense
"A great, and I mean great, read; what a book! D. W. Buffa, who
gave us The Defense, now brings us The Prosecution. I won't give
away the plot, but let's say this: You'll love this book. If you
don't, you're at the morgue.” ―Larry King
"Buffa’s spare observation, crackling dialogue, and shadowy circle
of criminals, lawyers, and lovers keep you riveted." ―Entertainment
Weekly

―Booklist on Hillary
"The Who in the Whodunit rolls out tantalizingly....Bottom line:
Add it to your docket." ―People Magazine on The Legacy
"An excellent legal thriller with a well thought-out plot and
believable characters. But it also scores as a novel of cold,
calculating revenge perpetrated by an intelligence so formidable it
goes unrecognized until too late." ―USA Today
