Bryan Walsh is a hit man with a unique problem. No matter how quickly and efficiently he does his job, it’s not over when the body hits the floor. You see, ghosts of the recently departed who’ve died at his hand follow him around. Sometimes it’s only for a few hours, other times it can be days before those he’s dispatched make their final final departure.
It was a pleasure to work with Laura Stewart Schmidt on her YA novel Until Proven Innocent, which finds fifteen-year-old Alison investigating a fifty-year-old death in effort to clear her grandmother’s name. Unfortunately, her best piece of evidence, the house where the deadly fire occurred, is scheduled for demolition, setting Alison up for a race against the clock…and landing her in the crosshairs of a killer who’d rather the past stay buried.
“I’ve worked with Elizabeth on both self-published and traditionally published books. Each time I found her to be extremely professional, timely and she provided a great knowledge of the genre of crime fiction, as well as fixed my grammatical travesties. I could go with any number of people to correct my spelling, but Elizabeth gave my writing a bit more that I feel really helped push it to its final stage.” — Mike McCrary
