Practical Sins is the first book in the Valjean Cameron series. A Killer's Guide to Good Works comes out in Sept. 2016. I get her out of the Northwoods for that one -- back in her native New York, where the murder of her best friend makes Val feel like she's in a wilderness of a different sort. Ancient documents, holy relics, and some very bad people. Thanks for writing!(less)
