McNary Lynch is the pen name for a mostly retired attorney who, with her husband of many years, divides her time between Houston and the Texas hill country. It was their personal experience with an amazing international business deal that inspired the two of them to concoct a fast-paced, suspenseful plot for a novel involving the diamond trade. A Dangerous Business has been well-received and because so many readers have asked for more of its characters, Lynch is currently working on a second Worth and Niccola Caivano adventure with a third in the planning stage.
