About the Author:
Janice Law (b. 1941) is an acclaimed author of mystery fiction. The Watergate scandal inspired her to write her first novel, The Big Payoff, which introduced Anna Peters, a street-smart young woman who blackmails her boss, a corrupt oil executive. The novel was a success, winning an Edgar nomination, and Law went on to write eight more in the series. Law has written historical mysteries, standalone suspense, and, most recently, the Francis Bacon Mysteries, which include The Prisoner of the Riviera, winner of the 2013 Lambda Literary Gay Mystery Award. She lives and writes in Connecticut.
Review:
Praise for Janice Law
“A writer who mixes venerated clue-chasing techniques with current political dynamite.” —Hartford Courant
“Law draws a sympathetic, even tender study of a self-centered but essentially decent soul in the kind of torment that isn’t the least poetic.” —Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times, on The Lost Diaries of Iris Weed
“Law powerfully evokes . . . uneasiness and rising tension, all in a narrative style sometimes verging on the poetic but always suspenseful.” —Kirkus Reviews on The Night Bus
