Dr. Parker Garrett is an author and longtime healthcare compliance and ethics professional whose fiction interrogates the moral fault lines of modern medicine, technology, and institutional power. Over a career spanning clinical research oversight, executive leadership, and federal advisory work, Garrett has witnessed firsthand how well‑intentioned systems can drift toward harm when accountability erodes.

That professional background informs Garrett’s novels, which blend procedural realism with character‑driven suspense. Their stories are grounded in real regulatory frameworks — Ethics Review Boards, compliance systems, federal regulations — while remaining accessible and emotionally resonant. Central themes include whistleblowing, institutional denial, and the human cost of truth‑telling in environments designed to suppress it.

Garrett’s work centers queer characters navigating both personal and systemic risk, reflecting a commitment to inclusive storytelling without reducing identity to trope. He is currently developing a series of medical‑ethical thrillers set in Washington, DC and a cozy mystery series set in Coastal Delaware.
