J.J. Cagney writes twisty, atmospheric mysteries and thrillers where every clue is a risk and every secret comes at a price. Her award-winning novels include A Pilgrimage to Death, one of Kirkus Reviews’ 100 Best Books of 2018. Before becoming a full-time author, she worked as a literary agent and with elite athletes, experiences that taught her about ambition, pressure, and what people will do to win. She lives in northern New Mexico with her family, two adorable, unruly dogs, and a suspiciously organized tank of fish. When she's not writing, she's hiking, reading, or plotting someone's next terrible decision.
