About

When someone murders one of your flying reindeer, you're supposed to do something about it..So begins this whimsical Santa Noir, LAST POLE ON THE LEFT. There's a murder at the North Pole in Christmas Town and Santa investigates down the dirty snow-covered streets, encountering drunken penguins, closed-mouth reindeer, and a crime boss Walrus. It's all in good fun to bolster your holiday spirit, but keep it away from the kiddies. This isn't the Santa they're looking for. But it just might be the Santa we need. L.A. native Jeri Westerson has been a journalist, a theology teacher, and graphic artist, among other things. As a novelist, she combined the medieval with the hard-boiled and came up with her own brand of medieval mystery she calls Medieval Noir. Her brooding protagonist, Crispin Guest, is a disgraced knight turned detective on the mean streets of fourteenth century London. Her sixth book, SHADOW OF THE ALCHEMIST, was named the Best of 2013 by Suspense Magazine. Her latest, CUP OF BLOOD has already garnered critical acclaim. Jeri's Crispin Guest books have been nominated for a variety of industry awards, from the Agatha to the Shamus. She is president of the Southern California chapter of Mystery Writers of America and a member of several writing organizations. Jeri speaks all over the southland about medieval history, including as a guest lecturer at the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana and Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, CA. When not writing, Jeri dabbles in gourmet cooking, likes fine wines, cheap chocolate, and swoons over anything British. She herds two cats, a tortoise, a bevy of bees, and the occasional tarantula at her home in southern California. See more at JeriWesterson.com
