about this book: Marked for Revenge is a pulse-pounding adventure through Europe about stolen art, the Mafia, and a father's vengeance!

It is the third novel in the Zelda Richardson Mystery series, yet can be read as a stand alone.

Who would enjoy reading this book?

Readers who enjoy mysteries, thrillers, heist novels, and suspense fiction will probably love this book. Luckily reviewers have already pointed out that an interest in art is not required!

What inspired me to write this book and series?

Perhaps not surprisingly, the ideas for my art history-based novels come primarily from museum exhibitions I have seen, real-life thefts and art history mysteries, as well as off-the-wall newspaper articles and documentaries. Somehow these tidbits combined together in my head and form a new idea.

For example, the plot of Marked for Revenge was inspired by the spectacular robbery and discovery of two Vincent Van Gogh paintings stolen from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam in 2002, several odd art thefts mentioned in regional newspapers, and articles and documentaries about the Italian mafia in the Netherlands, Croatia and Turkey. Researching the settings is one of my favorite parts of writing!
