Kenneth Wishnia is an associate professor of English at Suffolk Community College and the author of the Filomena Buscarsela Mystery series, the first of which was nominated for both the Edgar and the Anthony Awards, and made the Booklist "Best First Mystery" list. He is also the author five other novels, including The Fifth Servant. He lives on Long Island. Alison Gaylin is the author of the bestselling And She Was; Heartless; the Edgar Award-nominated Hide Your Eyes; Trashed; and You Kill Me. She lives in New York City.
"Smart dialogue, a realistic and gritty depiction of New York, and
the sensitive exploration of environmental, racial, and economic
issues make this another great read in an energetic series."
--Booklist "An engaging character with a wry sense of humor. The
jam-packed plot makes for an exciting story."
--Publishers Weekly "[Wishnia's] word play is as sharp as his
social conscience, and he has created a wonderfully intelligent and
human voice for his protagonist. She can move from angry to funny
to obscene in a handful of sentences, then climb back out of the
gutter to take on the big boys again without hesitation. If only
Buscarsela were real, the world would be a better place."
--Washington Post "Wishnia delivers well-developed characters with
sharp, realistic dialogue. Red House shines when it depicts the
gritty, uncaring urban jungle."
--South Florida Sun-Sentinel "She puts [other] female sleuths way
in the shade."
--The Times (St. Petersburg, FL)
