Brief Author Bio:

This is the seventh year for me and Nanowrimo. I love Nanowrimo, but every year it is the same: we dance and then I'm left with a broken heart, a caffiene problem, and some serious sleep debt. I can only hope this year will leave me with a terrible, half written novel too. A girl can dream...

Synopsis: A Killer Among Thieves

Dane Skrip, a former FBI hot shot, but now a distrusted and ambivalent agent demoted to San Francisco’s tame field office, gets a new partner, Libby Ayers. Although smart and ambitious Ayers is struggling to make a name for herself in the under funded, but prestigious Art Crimes Unit. The two are tapped to investigate the murder of a security guard at the SF Asian Art Museum where it appears nothing was stolen. When two more museum employees turn up dead, Skrip and Ayers must rely on their best connection to the black market world of stolen antiquities, Libby’s estranged brother, Paul. Once it becomes obvious more people are in danger, Skrip and Ayers are pressured to name a suspect, but can they find a killer hiding among thieves?
