About the Author

Nancy Boyarsky is the award-winning author of the Nicole Graves mysteries.

The Ransom is Nancy Boyarsky’s fourth Nicole Graves novel. Before turning to mysteries, Nancy coauthored Backroom Politics, a New York Times notable book, with her husband Bill Boyarsky. She has written several textbooks on the justice system, as well as articles for publications including the Los Angeles Times, Forbes, and McCall’s. She also contributed to political anthologies, including In the Running, about women’s political campaigns.
