Victer Hugo Basurco
Paterson, New Jersey. Engineering school, thirty years of process work, and then the books.
Victer Hugo Basurco was born in Paterson, New Jersey, and studied Mechanical Engineering Technology at County College of Morris and Trenton State College.
He spent his working life as a process engineer, first at AT&T and later at Lumens — a career built on the same question a thriller asks: what does this system do when something inside it goes wrong, and who notices first.
He is the father of two sons. He writes in New Jersey.
His debut novel, The Killing Gene, puts a genetics company, an FBI database contract and a hereditary marker for violence in the same room. A second novel, The Suicide Council, is complete and ready for publication. A third, Mindburst, is underway.
