RESEARCH & REALITY:
THE FACTS BEHIND THE FICTION
Before crafting her gripping thrillers, Sarah Lovett immersed herself in the very world her fiction explores.
With a degree in Criminal Justice from the University of New Mexico, she stepped directly into the legal and investigative sphere—working within the state’s Office of the Attorney General. It was here that she encountered the stark realities of forensic analysis, behavioral profiling, and the mechanics of organized crime.
Her research extended beyond office walls. Lovett spent time inside the New Mexico State Penitentiary, conducting interviews with offenders and law enforcement officials alike. Those firsthand encounters revealed a side of justice few ever witness—a world both brutal and humanizing.
Every detail in her novels, from the precision of forensic evidence to the psychological nuance of her protagonists, is grounded in years of direct observation, institutional collaboration, and meticulous fieldwork. For Lovett, truth itself is a powerful catalyst—one that continually transforms her fiction into reality.
