Lisa Regan

Lisa Regan is the author of other crime thrillers in addition to the bestselling Josie Quinn series. She is a member of the writing groups Sisters in Crime, International Thriller Writers, and Mystery Writers of America. She lives in Philadelphia with her husband, daughter and a Boston terrier named Mr. Phillip. She gained worldwide attention with the first installment of the series with investigator Josie Quinn, The Disappearing Girls, in which Josie had to deal with a serial killer and kidnapper who had been on the loose in the area for years. She followed its success with another story, The Girl with No Name, where she had to figure out whether an unknown woman was a witness, a perpetrator, or a future victim. In the third episode, Mother's Grave, Lisa Regan set up a case for her heroine that forced her to revisit her painful past. In the fourth case, Unexpected Confessions, she then presented the detectives with the tricky question of how well they knew the people around them and whether they would stand by their friends even if all indications were that they had killed. The fifth installment in the series, Buried Bones, brings Josie Quinn and her friend and colleague Noah Fraley back into the spotlight. The first victim to unleash a literal killing spree across the county is Colette Fraley - Noah's mom. The sixth case, Silent Cry, also touches Josie. It is about the kidnapping of a seven-year-old girl, whose finding is complicated by the fact that her parents are not telling the detectives the whole truth.
