About the Author...

Keenan Powell is the Agatha, Lefty, and Silver Falchion nominated author of the Maeve Malloy Mystery series. Her first publication included illustrations in Dungeons and Dragons, 1st edition, while in high school.  Art seemed to be an impractical pursuit – she wasn’t an heiress, didn’t have the disposition to marry well, and hated teaching – so she went to law school instead. The day after graduation, she moved to Alaska. As a young pup, she provided criminal defense representation in a variety of cases spanning from the infamous federal walrus round-up case to murder. When not writing or practicing law, Keenan can be found oil painting or studying the Irish language.

News and Reviews...

“Riveting legal procedural set in Anchorage’s mean streets”
-Hallie Ephron, NY Times bestselling author of You’ll Never Know, Dear

“Riveting, authentic and completely engaging. The deeply talented Keenan Powell nails the unforgiving Alaska setting and fascinating culture with a knowing affection, and her smart and compassionate  Maeve Malloy is terrific. Perfectly paced and consistently surprising—Hemlock Needle is a winner!"
- Hank Phillippi Ryan, bestselling author of The Murder List

"Continuing to build after a strong start, Powell turns her beady eye and compassionate heart towards the corrosive nature of old secrets and the dangers of reckoning with the truth at last. Maeve Molloy's third outing is atmospheric, gritty and completely satisfying."

- Catriona McPherson, multi-award-winning author of Strangers at the Gate
