Letha Albright

Letha Albright, author of the critically acclaimed Viv Powers series, has worked at newspapers, in a sawmill and as a wilderness guide. She lived in Cherokee County, Oklahoma, the setting of her mystery series, for eight years. She now resides in Columbia, Mo., where in her free time, she climbs rocks and hikes.

The third in Albright’s Viv Powers series, BAD LUCK WOMAN, hit bookstores in April 2005. Mystery author C.J. Box says it is “… highly entertaining, with a wonderful sense of place.” Albright’s first novel, TULSA TIME, made the list of Best Books of 2000 in Mystery News, who called it "a dark, gritty, hard- edged first novel." It was followed by DAREDEVIL'S APPRENTICE, which won accolades from the Detroit Free Press as "a subtle, suspenseful, well-plotted mystery with a stirring evocation of Cherokee history and culture."
