Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on January 14, 1948)

Happy Birthday, John Lescroart! May your day be filled with more twists and turns than a Dismas Hardy courtroom drama, fewer complications than Abe Glitsky's toughest cases, and enough excitement to rival Wyatt Hunt’s most thrilling adventures. Your knack for crafting suspenseful plots has kept us all guessing—and occasionally losing sleep—through masterpieces like "The Hunt Club," "Damage," and the unforgettable tension of "The Thirteenth Juror."

Here's hoping this year brings you as much success as you've given readers chills down their spines. Keep those mysteries coming; after all, birthdays are just another chapter in life's greatest thriller!
