Kwei Jones Quartey is a Ghanaian–American detective fiction novelist and retired physician. For about 20 years, while practising medicine, he also worked as a writer. He balanced both activities by writing in the early mornings before going to his clinic.[1][2][3][4][5]
Quartey studied medicine at Howard University in Washington, D.C. He began practising in 1990 with HealthCare Partners in California. While working at the facility as an urgent care physician, he founded the facility's wound care center.[1][3][5]
As a writer, he made the Los Angeles Times Bestseller List in 2009 for his book Wife of the Gods.[2] A year later, he was awarded Best Male Author by the G.O.G. National Book Club.[2] He is also a top 100 African American Literature Book Club bestselling author, making the list four times.[3] Kwei Quartey has published a number of novels, and is a member of the Los Angeles branch of Sisters in Crime, a fiction writers' organization.[1][3][5] His 2020 novel, The Missing American,[6] was shortlisted for the Edgar Allan Poe Best Novel Award.[7]
