Craig Rice, the author of fourteen novels, countless short stories, and a number of true crime pieces, once rivaled Agatha Christie in sales. She was on the cover of Time Magazine in 1946. However, the past fifty years have seen her fall into relative obscurity. Rice made for an interesting subject for a biography because nearly every identification point about the author was in dispute: her birth, her real name, her number of marriages, number of children, her canon of fiction, and the cause of her early death. Marks had to wade through years of research to come up with the answers to those questions. Following a trail that went from Venice, Italy to Venice Beach, CA, he talked to a number of her contemporaries, her family, and friends to come up with an engaging book that reminds readers why Rice remains the undisputed queen of the comedic mystery.

From the Back Cover

"Craig Rice was one of a kind and her comic mysteries still delight readers. All who loved her books will appreciate this careful, thorough and fascinating biography. Who Was That Lady? is a deserved tribute to a woman who gave much laughter and suffered much sorrow."

-- Carolyn Hart, author of Death on Demand and Henrie O. mysteries.
