Chris Lindberg was born and raised outside Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from Northern Illinois University in the mid-1990s, he headed out to the west coast for a couple of years, where he began writing as a casual pastime.
Some time after returning to Chicago he began attending writers workshops at StoryStudio Chicago, where he wrote two character studies, both of which have since been developed into key characters in Code of Darkness.
Chris now lives outside Chicago with his wife Jenny and their two children, Luke and Emma. You might catch him working away on his second novel while commuting on his morning train into the city.

Rage grew up in foster homes until the age of thirteen when he was taken in by a retired schoolteacher by the name of Georgia Fay. About four weeks after Georgia Fay dies Rage finds himself in the middle of a bank robbery where a woman is taken hostage. He decides to do something about and becomes a hero, but he doesn't stick around leaving the cops to wonder who he is. Something changed inside Rage the day of the robbery, causing him to feel an urge to help rid the city of wrongdoers, calling himself the Protector Of The People, but now several have died at his hands and the city thinks they have a killer on the loose. When a call leads officer Larry Parker to Rage's apt building he immediately recognizes him from the bank robbery, but before he can take Rage to headquarters the Feds descend on Rage's apt. Turns out the Dept of Defense has a secret operation called Project Safeguard. The Feds have already captured one man that they call Asset One, Elias Todd, a hired killer with what appears to be superhuman strength. Now they want Rage, whom they consider Asset Two, and they will stop at nothing to get him.
Code Of Darkness is one of those stories that sends the readers imagination into overdrive. The author describes the situations in such a way that I felt like I had a front row seat in an action packed movie. The non stop action, suspense and mystery made this story a page turner for me. I liked how the author transitioned between characters allowing us to see the story from several perspectives. Rage was a complex character that was easy to care about. I found myself wishing the ending could have been different for Rage, and speaking of endings I was left wanting more so I certainly hope there will be a sequel.
Highly recommended for anyone who love stories with a sci-fi feel, but actually anyone who likes a fast paced suspense filled story will find plenty to enjoy in this one!
