Kris Calvin

"Crisp and entertaining...Kris Calvin sets herself apart as a writer to watch." —John Lescroart, Author of The Fall and 19 New York Times bestsellers "...Gasp-worthy twists...a real treat of a debut. Totally satisfying." ―Catriona McPherson, Multi-Award-Winning Author of Edgar-Nominated The Day She DiedA former local elected official, author Kris Calvin knows politics from the inside out. She lives minutes from Sacramento, capital city of California and has been honored by the State Assembly and the California Governor’s office for her leadership in political advocacy on behalf of children. Educated at Stanford and UC Berkeley in psychology and economics, Kris loves mysteries and thinks there’s no better way to achieve work-life balance than to stumble upon a corpse, unravel the relevant clues and find the killer (so long as all of that happens between the covers of a good book).
