Elizabeth Gunn is an American author of mystery novels. Gunn lives in Tucson, Arizona. Her careful research into police techniques results in "precision-tooled procedurals" according to Marilyn Stasio of ''The New York Times''.〔"Crime", New York Times, Books, July 22, 2001〕 One series is set the fictional city of Rutherford, Minnesota. A second is set in Tucson, where she moved in 1999. Her publishers include Walker, Dell, Harlequin, Forge, and Severn House. Prior to her career as a writer, Gunn earned her private pilot's license, became a sky and scuba diver, hiked deserts and mountains, and travelled extensively in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe, including several years as a live-aboard sailor. While she was sailing, Gunn began to write travel articles, many of which were published in regional papers around the U.S. This was the beginning of her path to becoming a full-time writer. Before "retiring" to her career as a writer, Gunn made her living as an innkeeper, in Helena, Montana, where she owned a motel with her husband, Phillip. Together they raised two daughters and the family lived in a small apartment directly above the lobby of their motel. As a result of those cramped quarters, Gunn developed her desire to travel. She grew up in the Southeast Minnesota of her Jake Hines novels and later moved to Tucson, the setting of her Sarah Burke series. ==The Jake Hines Mystery Series== The series takes place in and near Rutherford, a fictionalized version of Rochester, Minnesota. It features Jake Hines, a dumpster baby who survived a childhood of foster homes to become a detective with the Rutherford Police Department. *''Triple Play'' (1997) *''Par Four'' (1999) *''Five Card Stud'' (2000) *''Six-Pound Walleye'' (2001) *''Seventh-Inning Stretch'' (2002) *''Crazy Eights'' (2005) *''McCafferty's Nine'' (2007) *''Ten Mile Trials'' (2010) *''Eleven Little Piggies'' (2013) *''Noontime Follies'' (2015) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elizabeth Gunn (author)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
