F.G. Haghenbeck

F.G. Haghenbeck is the author of "El Diablo me obligó", the novel used as the basis for Diablero.

F.G. Haghenbeck was born in Mexico City. He's been an architect, museum designer, freelance editor, and TV producer. He's also the comic book writer of Crimson and Alternation, as well as a Superman series for DC Comics. John Huston biographer William Reed encouraged Haghenbeck to transition into writing crime novels, and the result is Bitter Drink, which has already won the Turn of the Screw Crime Novel Award in Mexico.

Haghenbeck currently works full-time writing novels and editing historical and pop-culture books. He loves eating his wife's gourmet food, drinking cocktails, reading the noir novels of Raymond Chandler and Paco Ignacio Taibo II, and watching cartoons with his daughter, Arantza.
