ⓘ About John Case

John Case Jim and Carolyn Hougan are a married couple who also happen to be writers. They chose to publish several books under one shared name, John Case. Before they began working together, each had already built a career in writing. Carolyn Hougan wrote novels, and Jim Hougan worked as an investigative journalist and broadcaster, work that earned him awards. Their novels under the John Case name are known for being hard to put down. The lead characters feel like people you might know, thrown into strange and high stakes situations. The stories move across countries and dig into mysteries that feel big but never confusing. Readers tend to appreciate that the writing stays clear while the plots stay smart. The couple lives in Washington, D.C.
