Melissa F. Miller is the USA Today bestselling author of dozens of mysteries, thrillers, and suspense novels, including the Sasha McCandless legal thriller series. All her work shares two common threads: pulse-pounding, tightly plotted action and smart, unlikely heroines and heroes. A lifelong lover of literature, she made a small detour to practice law for fifteen years. Now she writes full-time. She enjoys gardening, yoga, and, always, coffee. She lives in South Central Pennsylvania with her husband, her three teenagers, a cat named Java (who is definitely in charge), and a beagle-basset hound mix named Chase.
