Pamela Samuels Young was dubbed by one reviewer as “John Grisham with a sister’s twist.” An attorney, Pamela has penned more than a dozen novels. A desire to see people of color depicted in the legal thrillers she read prompted here to write her first mystery while still practicing law.

Her thriller Anybody’s Daughter, a gripping tale of a teen unwittingly drawn into the world of child sex trafficking, won the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Fiction.

A former TV news writer for KCBS in Los Angeles and WXYZ in Detroit, Pamela is a graduate of UC Berkeley’s School of Law and earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from USC and a master’s degree in broadcasting from Northwestern University.
