Ernesto Patino grew up in El Paso where he graduated from the University of Texas at El Paso. He received a Bachelor of Music degree and taught school for a couple of years before joining the FBI as a Special Agent. His career spanned 23 years during which he traveled extensively to Mexico, South America, the Caribbean and parts of Europe. He now lives in Tucson, Arizona, and divides his time between writing and working as a private investigator.

Ernesto is the author of a children’s book, A Boy named Paco, and a novel, In the Shadow of a Stranger, which was published in England. When he is not working as a P.I. or writing a book, you can usually find him at a local dance studio where he continually strives to perfect his skills as a ballroom dancer.
