Judith Van Gieson Synopses: North of the Border by Judith Van Gieson is the first Neil Hamel novel. On one side of the border, a murder; on the other, a killer. In between stands Neil Hamel, a woman with a passion for the truth. “Don’t worry, Chiquita” was the Kid’s answer to most things, and right now Neil Hamel missed the Kid – her part-time lover and car mechanic. Neil had gone to Mexico as a favor to a man she shouldn’t be doing favors for, and what it got her was a face-to-face meeting with a corpse, a Mexican lawyer with a diamond pinky ring and a throat slit from ear to ear. Coming home to Albuquerque, Neil couldn’t let go of the tangled scheme she had uncovered. Looking for the truth, she finds human predators.
The Stolen Blue is the first Claire Reynier novel by Judith Van Gieson. For 52-year-old recent divorcee Claire Reynier, it’s time for a fresh start. But her new direction in life – at a New Mexico university – becomes a detour to murder when an old friend and mentor is found dead.
Confidence Woman is the third book in the Claire Reynier series from Judith Van Gieson. New Mexico rare book expert Claire Reynier is the victim of identity fraud – and the chief suspect in the con woman’s murder
