"Elegant prose at the hand of an experienced story-teller." -Rhys Bowen, New York Times best-selling author of the Royal Spyness and Molly Murphy Mysteries as well as the #1 Kindle bestsellers "In Farleigh Field" and "The Tuscan Child."THE RUSSIAN GIRL is based on the true story of a woman who escapes from a high security nursing home during the hottest day of the year.

Thoroughly recommended." -Catriona McPherson, bestselling and multi-award-winning author of the Dandy Gilver series and "Go To My Grave""A beautiful, very thoughtful piece of writing, from the heart." -Rita Lakin, author of "The Only Woman In The Room"FROM THE AUTHOR: I am an RN, and yes, an ex-Bronxite. So listening to me talk (hands flying) can be a funny experience. I love to write crime novels and multi-task because I'm also an artist that plays with clay in my studio in my little home in the West (Marin County, CA.). My sculptures and other artistic creations appear in many juried national and local exhibitions, and I sell my work through galleries, associations, and retail stores.Being an RN is a huge clue as to why I like to write gritty medical thrillers with my husband J. J. Lamb.
