the national organization.

“We are thrilled to
have a writer of Rhys Bowen’s stature to join our group of local writers as we
celebrate 30 years of great mystery writing,” said Michael Dabney, president of
Speed City Sisters in Crime.
Ms. Bowen is an
award-winning author of three mystery series, including the Molly Murphy novels
about an Irish immigrant in early 1900s New York City and her Royal Spyness
books about a penniless minor royal in 1930s Britain. Her books have topped the
New York Times best seller lists and she has won one of the top awards for
mystery writers, the Agatha Best Novel Award.
Her newest
stand-alone novel, In Farleigh Field, will be released March 1.
Ms. Bowen, who was
born in England, married into a family with royal connections. She now divides
her time between California and Arizona.
“Whether she is
writing about turn-of the century New York or Depression-era Britain, her
novels never fail to entertain,” Dabney said. “It’s our privilege to welcome
her to Indianapolis for this very special event.”
