About the Author

Elizabeth George is the author of the bestselling crime novels about Inspector Thomas Lynley, as well as The Edge of Nowhere, her first young adult novel, which was a finalist for both the Edgar and the Agatha awards. Ms. George's novels are notable for their incisive characterization and their complex, multi-layered plots. Elizabeth George lives on Whidbey Island, where both The Edge of Nowhere and The Edge of the Water are set. She says, "Whidbey Island asks to be 'someone' in a story. I only hope I've done it justice." Two more coming-of-age novels in the Whidbey Island sequence will follow. Visit her at www.elizabethgeorgeonline.com.
