- Sylvie Granotier was born in Algeria and grew up there and in Morocco and France. She entered primary school in Paris, then continued her education in Marrakesh, and finally attended a girls' high school in Rabat. After obtaining her baccalauréate, she entered the University of Nanterre, where she earned a degree. She also took drama lessons and held various odd jobs. In the 1970s, she became a model and made many international trips to Europe, the USA, and Brazil. She settled in Paris, working as an television and film actress. She began her literary career translating Grace Paley’s short story collection Enormous Changes at the Last Minute into French. She also began to write screenplays in 1989 and her own short stories and novels. In 1990, she published her debut novel Courrier posthume (Posthumous Mail). Mort sans lendemain (Dead Without Tomorrow, 1992) was her first crime novel, a genre that has become her specialty. In 2014, The Paris Lawyer (La Rigole du diable), a police procedural, was the first of her novels to be translated into English; it had won the Prix Sang d'Encre award in France in 2011. In 2015, she won the Prix Mauvais genres for Personne n'en saura rien (Nobody Will Know Anything About It). She has also written two books for children and young people. She divides her time between Paris and La Creuse in central France.
