About the Author

A recovering criminal attorney, Judy K. Walker has enough spare letters after her name (and student loan debt) to suggest that insatiable curiosity is something fictional Tallahassee private investigator Sydney Brennan inherited from her creator. Fortunately, Judy's curiosity rarely involves murders.In addition to the ongoing series featuring the intrepid red-headed PI, Judy penned the Dead Hollow Trilogy (Prodigal, Founder, and Heir). The Appalachian crime thriller series with a dash of the paranormal taps into the heart of her West Virginia upbringing, evoking the shadowy mountains and hollows (properly pronounced hollers) whose absence she still laments.Judy writes from her home in Hawaii, where she is surrounded by husband, dogs, cat, and assorted geckos. If she's not tapping away at her computer, she's probably sweeping tumblepuppies (the piles of accumulated critter hair).Find out more about Judy and her books at judykwalker.com
