Lisa Scottoline is the New York Times bestselling author of 16 novels, including her upcoming LOOK AGAIN, due out on April 14th. She also writes a column for the Philadelphia Inquirer titled "Chick Wit" which is her witty and fun take on life from a woman's perspective. In her spare time, she teaches a course she developed, "Justice and Fiction" at The University of Pennsylvania Law School, her alma mater. Lisa is a regular and much sought after speaker at library and corporate events. Lisa has over 25 million copies of her books in print and is published in over 25 countries. She lives in the Philadelphia area with an array of disobedient pets, and she wouldn't have it any other way.

Lisa's books have solidly landed on all the major bestseller lists including The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, Publisher's Weekly, Washington Post, and The Los Angeles Times. Lisa's novels are known for their fast-paced action, page-turning suspense, and splash of humor, but they are remembered for their warm and down-to-earth characters, who resonate with readers and reviewers long after they have finished the books. Jane Maslin of The New York Times applauds Lisa's books as "punchy, wisecracking thrillers" whose "characters are earthy, fun and self-deprecating" and distinguishes her as having "one of the best-branded franchise styles in current crime writing."
