Forensic Handwriting Mysteries

Synopsis

From Book 1:

Sheila Lowe “wins readers over with her well-developed heroine and the wealth of fascinating detail” (Booklist) in this captivating mystery set in Hollywood, where forensic handwriting expert Claudia Rose knows that despite the words it forms, a pen will always write the truth.

Can handwriting be faked to make murder look like suicide? That is the question facing forensic handwriting expert Claudia Rose. When powerful Hollywood agent Lindsey Alexander is found dead, police are all too willing to believe it's Lindsey's handwriting on the scrap of paper they're calling a suicide note. But not everyone is ready to accept this easy conclusion. Claudia knows first-hand the publicist's ruthlessness and cruelty, so when Lindsey's business associate begs her to prove the suicide note a fake, her instincts scream at her to run the other way. She hasn't forgotten how it felt to be humiliated by the best. But Ivan leans hard, and when she accepts the case, Claudia becomes trapped in a far darker scenario than she bargained for.
