I’m Christopher Reilly, MD, FACS, a fiction author and practicing general surgeon. My journey began in New York and took me to the United Kingdom, from the University of St Andrews to the University of Wales College of Medicine. Early medical research in India, exploring the psychosocial impact of leprosy, fueled my fascination with human resilience, a passion I now channel into writing dark crime fiction books with medical authenticity.
My early medical research in India, exploring the psychosocial impact of leprosy, deepened my fascination with the stories hidden beneath suffering. That curiosity ultimately led me to write. Today, I craft thrillers grounded in medical realism and human complexity, including El Chancho, which earned the Claymore Award for Best Thriller in 2023 and stands as a defining vigilante justice thriller novel.
“One of the most gripping crime thriller books I’ve read in years. Reilly’s medical background brings unmatched authenticity. I love all his psychological thriller books.”
“El Chancho Book grabbed me from the first page and didn’t let go. Reilly blends surgical precision with gritty emotion, creating a thriller that feels terrifyingly real. I couldn’t look away.”
“A brutal, beautifully written story. The realism is stunning, the tension relentless, and the characters unforgettable. You feel every heartbeat, every scar, every truth this author pulls into the light.”
“El Chancho is dark, fearless, and impossible to put down. Reilly writes with the authority of someone who has seen the human soul at its strongest and weakest.”
“A chilling, masterful debut. The plot is raw and immersive, the themes powerful, and the writing razor-sharp. Reilly delivers a story that lingers long after the last page.”
