This is Sandy Goldin’s third book in the Inspector Jeremy Smith series. The first two books, as well as nine chapters of the third, were written while she lived in the San Francisco area. After moving to New York State, she took a two-year break before completing Two Sides of a Coin. During this time, she worked in a library and as a copyeditor while con-tinuing her career as a Nurse Practitioner. She has also done some freelance work, writing several newspaper and maga-zine articles.
