Since 1973, he spent part of each year in Santana do Parnaiba, Brazil, where he met his wife, Eide. His books have been translated into French, Italian, Finnish, and Dutch.

Praise for the Chief Inspector Mario Silva series “Topnotch . . . controversial and entirely absorbing.”—The New York Times Book Review“Realistic characters that readers can care about.”—Detroit Free Press “Gage's compelling novels are good examples of how talented crime writers use the police procedural form to lay bare a society.”—Indianapolis Star “New and convincing.”—Mystery Scene “An impressive follow-up to an excellent debut . . . [A] story so real and chilling it’s hard to imagine it happening anywhere else but Silva’s Brazil . . . Silva may just be South America’s Kurt Wallender.” —Booklist, Starred Review“A gritty police procedural that benefits from its offbeat locale and an impressive tapestry of believable characters.”—Kirkus Reviews
