"Dynamite" (Publisher's Weekly Starred review)
"Suicide or murder? Only the graphologist knows for sure in this dynamite debut…" — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
When handwriting expert Claudia Rose is called to authenticate a celebrity agent's shocking suicide note, she doesn't buy the story of a self-inflicted death.
The deeper she digs, the more she uncovers about Lindsey Alexander—a woman as manipulative as she was powerful, and as dangerous dead as she was alive. What looks like a closed case begins to unravel as Claudia digs up secrets someone is desperate to keep buried.
As friends turn into suspects and powerful enemies close ranks, danger stalks Claudia's every move. To survive, she must trust both her instincts and her professional training, and LAPD detective Joel Jovanic—or risk becoming the next victim.
Poison Pen introduces forensic handwriting expert Claudia Rose in the first book of the acclaimed Forensic Handwriting mystery series, blending psychological suspense with the cutting edge of forensic science.
With masterful storytelling and well-crafted characters, bestselling author Sheila Lowe takes readers deep into the glamorous yet treacherous underbelly of Hollywood—and keeps them guessing until the very end.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Suicide or murder? Only the graphologist knows for sure in this dynamite debut, the first in a new series, from forensic handwriting expert Lowe (Handwriting of the Famous and Infamous). When celebrity publicist Lindsey Alexander drowns in her hot tub at her L.A. penthouse apartment, Lindsey's business manager, Ivan Novak, hires handwriting analyst Claudia Rose to look into the authenticity of the block-printed note left at the scene. Ivan believes it was penned by a murderer, not a suicide victim. Claudia, who was once Lindsey's friend before being alienated by her pathologically malicious behavior, isn't surprised to learn that Lindsey liked to blackmail her famous clients by threatening to tarnish rather than shine their images. When hunky LAPD detective Joel Jovanic enters the investigation, the "grapho lady" and the cop make a hot team, in and out of the sheets. The author's large nonfiction fan base augurs well for the series. Author tour.
