Lissa Marie Redmond

LISSA MARIE REDMOND is a recently retired cold case homicide detective of the Buffalo (New York) Police Department. She’s also a member of Sisters in Crime. In an early trade review, Booklist says, "Recommend this one to anyone who loves courtroom dramas where lawyers tear into witnesses like pit bulls. And to anyone hot for a police procedural where tired cops make mistakes but slowly, relentlessly—and with morbid humor—get the job done. Redmond delivers both in one package. . . . The real attraction here is a keyhole view into a world that turns our expectations upside down—a world where a bullying, quasi-fascist cop can be the only one with a handle on reality. Keep your eyes on Redmond, a retired cop who knows how to write.
