Joshua Cohen prac­tices law at a small firm in Cleve­land that spe­cial­izes in com­plex civ­il lit­i­ga­tion. Dur­ing his career, he suc­cess­ful­ly pros­e­cut­ed a class action against the old Cleve­land Browns for relo­cat­ing to Bal­ti­more and sued 23 invest­ment banks for the City of Cleve­land over the sub­prime fore­close cri­sis. Josh is a big fan of film noir and mid-cen­tu­ry crime fic­tion. The Best Assas­si­na­tion is his first novel.
