Robert Clark (born April 9, 1952[1]) is a novelist and writer of nonfiction. He received the Edgar Award for his novel Mr. White's Confession in 1999. A native of St. Paul, Minnesota, he lives in Seattle with his wife and two children.[2]

Clark's books touch on several genres but often return to questions centered in God: "Is there a God? Does he love us? Is he even paying attention?"[3]
