Ο Ray Celestin είναι μυθιστοριογράφος και σεναριογράφος και κατοικεί στο Λονδίνο. Το πρώτο του μυθιστόρημα, Η τζαζ του δολοφόνου, τιμήθηκε με το βραβείο New Blood Dagger της Ένωσης Συγγραφέων Αστυνομικής Λογοτεχνίας (CWA) για το Καλύτερο Μυθιστόρημα Πρωτοεμφανιζόμενου Συγγραφέα και συμπεριλήφθηκε σε πολυάριθμες λίστες με τα καλύτερα βιβλία της χρονιάς. Το δεύτερο βιβλίο του, Τα μπλουζ του δολοφόνου, τιμήθηκε με το βραβείο Historia για το Καλύτερο Ιστορικό Αστυνομικό της Χρονιάς, ενώ ήταν υποψήφιο για πολλά άλλα βραβεία, μεταξύ αυτών το Gold Dagger της CWA. Τα παραπάνω μυθιστορήματα, μαζί με τον Θρήνο του γκάνγκστερ, αποτελούν μέρη της τετραλογίας «City Blues Quartet», που ακολουθεί τις παράλληλες πορείες της τζαζ και του υποκόσμου στα μισά του 20ού αιώνα. Το φονικό σουίνγκ είναι η ολοκλήρωσή της. Ray Celestin's debut novel, The Axeman's Jazz won the CWA John Creasey New Blood Dagger Award and was shortlisted for the Theakston's Crime Novel of the Year Award. Dead Man's Blues is his second novel. He lives in London
