About the Author

Heather Petty has been obsessed with mysteries since she was twelve, which is when she decided that stories about murders in London drawing rooms and English seaside villages were far superior to all other stories.
Lock & Mori
is her first novel. She lives in Reno, Nevada, with her husband, daughter, and four hopelessly devious cats. You can visit her online at
