Lenora Pike is a former investigative researcher who traded true-crime podcasts for fiction when she realized the stories she couldn't stop thinking about all ended with someone still alive—and someone who wished they weren't. She writes propulsive thrillers for readers who like their twists earned and their heroines impossible to kill off. Four Lenora Pike thrillers are live on Kindle.
Lenora's novels blend corporate conspiracies, missing persons, and ordinary women who discover they've been investigating the wrong crime all along. She is drawn to stories about identity under pressure, unreliable allies, and the moment a protagonist realizes the danger was inside the house—or inside the marriage—all along. Based in Seattle, Lenora walks the waterfront at dawn, keeps a shelf of spy novels with cracked spines, and has a strict rule: the twist must arrive one chapter before the reader sees it coming. Every book ends with truth on the table and someone still running.
