The thing that I particularly like about this book is that so much history was included in the story without bogging it down, making it more interesting rather than less. She is apparently the only one who suspects that her ex-boyfriend's death is not a simple accident and she sets out to solve the mystery of his death and the source of the mysterious artifact. Jaya, the main character in this murder mystery, has received a long lost ruby Indian artifact from her recently deceased ex-boyfriend. Her debut novel was awarded a Malice Domestic Grant and named a Best of 2012 Debut by Suspense Magazine, and her mysteries have also been awarded the Agatha, Rose, Lefty, and Derringer awards.

She writes the Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt mystery series (Artifact, Pirate Vishnu, Quicksand, Michelangelo's Ghost, The Ninja's Illusion, and The Glass Thief), the Accidental Alchemist mysteries (The Accidental Alchemist, The Masquerading Magician, The Elusive Elixir, and The Alchemist's Illusion), and locked-room mystery short stories (many are collected in The Cambodian Curse & Other Stories). Gigi's novels have been described as a cross between Indiana Jones and Agatha Christie. She now lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and a gargoyle who watches over the garden.
She's the child of cultural anthropologists from New Mexico and the southern tip of India, and spent her childhood traveling around the world on their research trips.
