Robert Brighton

Robert Brighton: Acclaimed Fiction Author

Robert Brighton is an authority on the Gilded Age and a great believer that the Victorian era was anything but stuffy.  On the contrary, in his books Brighton exposes the gritty realities of the time against a backdrop of meticulous research. 


His Avenging Angel Detective Agency™ Mysteries—in a category Brighton calls “immersive historical fiction”—have earned multiple awards for fiction.


When he is not sniffing out unsolved mysteries, Brighton is an adventurer.  He has traveled in more than 56 countries around the world, usually on only a few dollars a day, throwing himself into every situation his characters will face — from underground ruins to opium dens — and (so far) living to tell about it.


A graduate of the Sorbonne, Brighton is an avid student of early twentieth century history and literature, a relentless investigator, and an admirer of Emily Dickinson and Jim Morrison.  Currently he lives in Virginia with his wife and their two cats.
