Traci Andrighetti is the USA Today bestselling author of four humorous and murderously fun mystery series: the Franki Amato Mysteries, the Pasta and Piazza Mysteries, and the Danger Cove Hair Salon Mysteries. She’s also a co-author of the Killer Foursome Mysteries. Before plotting murders in Italy and New Orleans, she was an award-winning literary translator and a Lecturer of Italian at the University of Texas at Austin, where she earned a PhD in Applied Linguistics. But then she got wise and ditched academia for a life of crime—writing, that is. Want in on her latest capers? Visit traciandrighetti.com.
