Mystery/Thriller
Claire Booth is a journalist-turned-author whose writing career has taken her from Missouri to Washington, D.C., South Florida, the Seattle area, and the Bay Area. She’s reported on many high-profile cases, including the Laci Peterson murder and the San Francisco dog mauling. The case of a deadly cult leader became the subject of her nonfiction book, The False Prophet: Conspiracy, Extortion and Murder in the Name of God. After spending so much time covering crimes so strange they seemed more like fiction than reality, she had enough of the real world and decided to write novels instead. Her acclaimed Sheriff Hank Worth mystery series takes place in Branson, Missouri. The seventh in the series, Throwing Shadows, is out now.
Claire is a member of Investigative Reporters and Editors, Mystery Writers of America, and is a president emeritus of Capitol Crimes, the Central Valley chapter of Sisters in Crime.
