Ingrid J. Parker is a detective/mystery writer. She is best known for creating Sugawara Akitada, who solved crimes in the Heian era of ancient Japan.
Personal life[]
Ingrid Parker was born and raised in Germany.[1][2]
She was, until retirement, Associate Professor of English and Foreign Languages at Norfolk State University in Virginia.[3] Writing detective mysteries set in ancient Japan was an incidental result of initial research into 11th century Japan out of professional interest in Japanese literature of the era.[4][5] She was also influenced by the Judge Dee mystery series written by the noted orientalist and diplomat Robert van Gulik.[6]
