Mark Murphy is a Savannah native. He's had a lot of jobs in his life: fast food worker, student marine biologist, orderly, and--most recently--gastroenterologist. He's met a lot of interesting folks in those occupations, from aging sitcom stars, disgraced tele-evangelists and political kingmakers to serial killers. He once even saw a man eat his mattress in a locked psychiatric ward. And when he's not working at his "day job" doing endoscopy, he's reading (a lot) and writing (not enough--but it's never enough). He pens a regular column for the Savannah Morning News, has published a few short stories, and has been a contributor to Savannah magazine. "The Shadow Man" is his first novel. And it's quite a ride...
