Pirinçci was born on the 29th April 1959 in Istanbul. He began to write fiction at a young age, and published his first novel "Tränen sind immer das Ende" (literally meaning "Tears always are the End") in 1980, at the age of 21. His next literary work, published in 1989, was the novel "Felidae", a work of crime fiction with cats as the main protagonists. The novel has been translated into 17 languages and became an international bestseller. Due to the enormous success of the novel, Pirinçci expanded his concept of "cat crime fiction" and published several sequels to Felidae, out of which only one, namely "Felidae on the Road", has been translated into English. An animated movie based on Felidae, the script of which had been co-written by Pirinçci, has been produced in Germany in 1994, and was also dubbed in English. Pirinçci has published several other novels which were not set in the fictional reality of the Felidae series. He had a big success with his fantastic thriller "The Door" which was made into a german moving picture with Mads Mikkelsen ("Casino Royal") and will be remade by Hollywood.
Pirinçci currently lives in Bonn, the former capital of the Federal Republic of Germany.
