I'm Jeff Nelson, author of FAULT LINES, a debut thriller about a young TV producer caught between a cartel family and the 1985 Mexico City earthquake that nearly buried them all.
I've spent decades in television production, including work on the NBC miniseries starring Burt Lancaster that brought me to Mexico City in 1985. When the earthquake struck, I was there—living through the disaster that would, forty years later, become the backbone of this novel. I've collaborated with legendary producer Edgar Scherick, written for Emmy-winning television, and produced documentaries exploring where culture, politics, and personal lives collide.
FAULT LINES draws on a lifetime navigating Hollywood's chaos, a love for political thrillers (from Graham Greene to Don Winslow), and that morning when the ground opened beneath Mexico City—revealing fault lines not just in the earth, but in everything we think we can count on.
I write stories about the choices people make when everything collapses. FAULT LINES is my first novel, with more to come.
