Robert Goldsborough is an American author of mystery novels. He was born in 1937 and grew up in the Chicago area. Although he worked for 45 years for the Chicago Tribune and Advertising Age, he first came to prominence in the 1980's with the publication, with the approval of the estate of Rex Stout, of his Nero Wolfe mystery Murder In E Minor which had been written privately for his mother back in 1978, shortly after the death of Stout, creator of the Wolfe stories.

Six other Nero Wolfe books followed from Goldsborough, all favorably received. However, more recently he has turned his attention to creating books with his own characters, beginning with Three Strikes You're Dead, a novel set in pre-war Chicago, and starring Steve Malek, a reporter for the Tribune.
