Her most recent, SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE, is a stand-alone thriller that goes back, in part, to the late Sixties in Chicago. She also writes two crime fiction series. The first features Chicago PI Georgia Davis and includes the hard-boiled EASY INNOCENCE (2008) and DOUBLEBACK (2009). In addition there are four novels in the Ellie Foreman series, which Libby describes as a cross between “Desperate Housewives” and “24.” Libby has also published over 15 short stories in NICE GIRL DOES NOIR and has edited the acclaimed crime fiction anthology, CHICAGO BLUES. She has been nominated twice for the Anthony Award, and once for the Agatha and has won the Readers’ Choice Award multiple times. Originally from Washington DC, she has lived in Chicago for 30 years and claims they’ll take her out of there feet first.</p> <p> </p> <p><b>David J.
