R.L. Carpentier is a 18 year law enforcement professional who uses his experience in the writing of his small town mystery and crime procedural fiction. His debut novel, Our Lady of the Overlook, the first of a trilogy is out now.

R.L. has a fascination for the mountains and finds a solace in the rural mountain communities in the Catskill Mountains of New York. He and his wife have traversed a number of the mountains including completing the Catkskill 3500s and completing the 24-mile escarpment trail in one long day.

This beautiful world is the setting for his fictional crime stories.
