Laura Lippman began writing novels while working full time as a newspaper reporter at The Sun. The Baltimore native has set nearly all of her novels in her home town, including her 11-book series about “accidental PI” Tess Monaghan – seven of which she wrote before leaving daily journalism in 2001. Her mystery crime novels have won the Edgar, the Anthony, the Agatha and many other literary awards. The Washington Post calls her “one of the best novelists around, period.” Emmy Award-winning writer of The Wire, George Pelecanos, says, “Laura Lippman is among the select group of novelists who have invigorated the crime fiction arena with smart, innovative, and exciting work.” Peppered with psychological suspense, her New York Times bestselling stand alone novels include What the Dead Know, Life Sentences, I’d Know You Anywhere and her 2011 release, The Most Dangerous Thing. “Lippman’s taut, mesmerizing, and exceptionally smart drama of predator and prey is at once unusually sensitive and utterly compelling,” says Booklist.
