| Alafair Burke Alafair Burke has been called “a genius for plot” and “one of our greatest contemporary mystery writers.” She has served as the President of Mystery Writers of America and the first woman of color to be elected to that position. Alafair traces a lifelong fascination with crime to the fact that she grew up in Wichita, Kansas, where a serial killer was active during her formative years. In a world where the killer could be anyone, Alafair found comfort in crime fiction. Her mother, a school librarian, helped her navigate from Encyclopedia Brown to Nancy Drew to Agatha Christie and eventually to Sue Grafton. Check out her books here |

| This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath.-Margaret Atwood
