Meet Doug Fifer, a retired Alaskan police officer turned true-crime author, whose stories delve deep into the darker corners of human behavior. Over his twenty-five-year career with the Anchorage Police Department, Doug specialized in crime scene analysis, deviant sexual crimes, and hostage negotiations—real-world experiences that now shape his gripping narratives.
Born in Homer, Alaska, Doug is proud of his Tlingit Indian heritage and remains deeply connected to his Alaskan roots. Alongside his wife, Kim, he shares a love for adventure, fine wine, and life in the great outdoors.
Doug’s latest book, Fifty Shades of True Crime, isn’t your typical crime collection—it’s a raw, unfiltered journey into the bizarre, shocking, and often disturbing realities that most people never see. His writing is bold, authentic, and laced with dark humor, revealing the humanity (and absurdity) behind even the most unsettling cases.
