Kris Nelscott



A pseudonym used by Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Kris Nelscott is an open pen name used by USA Today bestselling writer Kristine Kathryn Rusch.

The first Smokey Dalton novel, A Dangerous Road, won the Herodotus Award for Best Historical Mystery and was short-listed for the Edgar Award for Best Novel; the second, Smoke-Filled Rooms, was a PNBA Book Award finalist; and the third, Thin Walls, was one of the Chicago Tribunes best mysteries of the year.

Kirkus chose Days of Rage as one of the top ten mysteries of the year.

Entertainment Weekly says her equals are Walter Mosley and Raymond Chandler.

Booklist calls the Smokey Dalton books a high-class crime series and Salon says Kris Nelscott can lay claim to the strongest series of detective novels now being written by an American author.
