Annamaria Alfieri is the author of Blood Tango, which takes place in Buenos Aires in 1945 and imagines the murder of an Evita Perón lookalike. Kirkus Reviews said of her Invisible Country, "Alfieri has written an anti-war mystery that compares with the notable novels of Charles Todd." Deadly Pleasures Magazine called her City of Silver one of the best first novels of the year. The Washington Post said, "As both history and mystery, City of Silver glitters." Writing as Patricia King, she is also the author of the short story "Baggage Claim," in the anthology Queens Noir. Her five books on business subjects include Never Work for a Jerk, which was featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, and the current Monster Boss. A world traveler, Annamaria takes a keen interest in the history of the places she visits.
