A Lefty Nominee for Best Mystery Novel
An Agatha Nominee for Best Contemporary Mystery Novel

One murder. Four impossibilities. A fake s饌nce hides a very real crime.

Secret Staircase Construction just finished their first project with Tempest Raj officially a part of the team--a classic mystery novel-themed home interior. Their client is now ready to celebrate her new life without her cheating ex-husband, famous mystery author Corbin Colt. First up, a party, and Tempest and Grandpa Ash are invited to the exclusive mock s饌nce to remove any trace of Corbin from the property--for good. It's all lighthearted fun until Corbin's dead body crashes the party.

The only possible suspects are the eight people around the s饌nce table--a circle of clasped hands that wasn't broken. Suspicion quickly falls on Grandpa Ash, the only one with actual blood on him. To prove her beloved grandfather's innocence, Tempest must figure out what really happened--and how--or Ash will be cooking his delectable Indian and Scottish creations nevermore.

Multiple award-winning author Gigi Pandian is one of the best locked room mystery writers working today. Her newest heroine, Tempest Raj, returns in The Raven Thief, where sliding bookcases, trick tables, and hidden reading nooks hide something much more sinister than the Secret Staircase Construction crew ever imagined.
