Karsten Dusse is a German author and screenwriter best known for his darkly comic crime fiction. He is the creator of the hugely popular "Achtsam Morden" series — published in English as the "Mindful Killing" series — which follows a stress-ridden lawyer who discovers that mindfulness meditation makes it surprisingly easy to dispose of his problems, permanently. The series, including "My Inner Child Wants to Kill", blends sharp wit with psychological humor and has earned Dusse a devoted international readership. He also works extensively in television, bringing the same keen sense of storytelling to the screen.
