About the author
Gigi Pandian is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning mystery author, breast cancer survivor, and accidental almost-vegan. The child of cultural anthropologists from New Mexico and the southern tip of India, she spent her childhood traveling around the world on their research trips. She now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and a gargoyle who watches over the backyard vegetable garden. A cancer diagnosis in her thirties taught her that life’s too short to waste a single moment, so she’s having fun writing quirky novels and cooking recipes from around the world. Her debut novel, Artifact, was awarded the Malice Domestic Grant, and she’s won Anthony, Agatha, Lefty, and Derringer awards, and was a finalist for the Edgar Award.
