When her brother hints at a remarkable discovery in the family archives and goes missing—leaving a dead body in his wake—Jac is plunged into danger. Her quest for the ancient perfume someone is willing to kill for becomes the key to understanding Jac’s own troubled past. “Once you catch a whiff, you will be enchanted." –Associated Press. Rose is the bestselling author of twelve novels and three non-fiction books on marketing.
Jessica Maria Tuccelli
Jessica Maria Tuccelli spent three summers trekking through northeastern Georgia, soaking up its ghost stories and folklore for her debut novel, Glow(Viking, 2012). The Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance named Glow a 2012 Okra Pick, its highest honor. According to the Fredericksburg Freelance Star, Glow is “full of love, hate, discrimination, heartbreak, hardiness, ghosts and hoodoo. Every page seems to introduce a new twist to draw the reader in and keep the pages turning. You won't be disappointed." A graduate of MIT with a degree in anthropology, she travels the globe, where she finds inspirations for her stories. Tuccelli is a Writer-in-Residence at the Brooklyn PowderKeg.

The true story of an unsolved 1990 heist from the Gardner Museum in Boston worth over $500 million is the inspiration for B.A. Shapiro’s literary thriller, The Art Forger (Algonquin Books, $34.95). When a powerful Boston art dealer offers an artist whose career has been stalled by scandal a gallery show in exchange for forging a Degas, the artist suspects the Degas might be one of the missing Gardner paintings. Shapiro is the author of five suspense novels: The Safe Room, Blind Spot, See No Evil, Blameless and Shattered Echoes as well as the non-fiction book, The Big Squeeze.
