About the author

Hi! I’m Anne Louise Bannon. I wrote my first short story at age 9 and my first novel at age 15. Since then, I've written a couple other books and have worked as a journalist. I've written about a lot of different things, from winemaking to city hall meetings to fantasy and my work has appeared in newspapers across the country and numerous websites.

Mostly though, I write mysteries, with some fantasy and romance tossed in. I've got several books out with more coming.

As for the rest, I live in Southern California with my husband, dog and cat. I have a grown daughter living in Northern California, who still talks to me voluntarily. And when I’m not working, I enjoy cooking, sewing, reading, hiking and a good football game.

[Kerry Reis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Brenner and her Hollywood animal-handler "somewhat" boyfriend, Bob, have taken one of his cats, a tamed Bengal tiger, on a field trip in Santa Monica, which attracts the attention of a mother and daughter outside a beachfront restaurant. As Brenner and Bob shows the young girl how tame the tiger is, the mother is suddenly abducted by men in a passing vehicle. This becomes an amazing start of a sassy, intelligent and quick-paced story as Brenner and Bob examine their relationship while taking on the foster care of the young girl, battling the harassment of a fanatical religious cult and solving an intriguing mystery thrust upon their lives. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
