Join JCLS as we talk to Jennifer Greer about her debut novel A Desperate Place

In this novel, Whit McKenna and ME Detective Katie Riggs, an unlikely pair, investigate three murders that share one gruesome secret. McKenna is a new crime writer for the Medford Daily Chronicle. She moved to Medford, Oregon with her daughters after a harrowing experience as an L.A. Times reporter on assignment in Afghanistan, where her photojournalist husband was killed. Riggs, a cancer survivor, and experienced homicide investigator studies the dead almost as if she is searching for answers to her own near-death experience. McKenna and Riggs trade leads quid pro quo as they independently race to investigate a series of murders while the killer is on the hunt.

She lived in London studying history, art and literature. She reported from the war regions of Croatia and wrote an award wining article on the women and children refugees.
