While David Carnoy lives in New York City with his wife and children, his novels are mainly set in Silicon Valley, where he grew up and went to high school (Palo Alto). His debut novel, Knife Music (2010), was a Top-10 bestseller on the Kindle and also a bestseller on the Nook. More medical thriller than high-tech thriller, to research the novel Carnoy spent a lot of time talking with doctors, visiting trauma centers, and trailed a surgeon at a hospital in Northern California to help create the book's protagonist, Dr. Ted Cogan. The Big Exit (2012) and Lucidity (2017) are part of a trilogy that features Detective Hank Madden, but they're designed to be read as standalone thrillers. All his novels have a bit of a high-tech slant, reflecting Carnoy's experiences as an executive editor at CNET.com, where he currently works and is trying resolve his obsession with consumer electronics products. He went to college at Wesleyan University and has an MFA in creative writing from Columbia University. "A lot people ask me how I have time to write novels when I have a full-time job and four young kids and I just say I got a hold of some of those pills Bradley Cooper's character popped in the movie Limitless," Carnoy says. He adds that if Bradley Cooper is reading this, he'd make "an excellent Dr. Ted Cogan for the film version of Knife Music." Carnoy is also fan of The Big Lebowski and all Coen brothers movies except The Ladykillers.
