“I lived in St. Charles from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. Although I now live in Atlanta, living in the Tri-Cities continues to influence my writing. St. James is not terribly unlike St. Charles.”

Relative Innocence is a dark, suspenseful mystery about a spree killer's son, a suspected serial killer's daughter, and the attorney who befriends them. Like Tighter, Tighter, Lynn Kear's previous award-winning novel, Relative Innocence is set in St. James, a small Illinois suburb nestled on the banks of a river.

“Much of my academic and professional success is due to the education I received from St. Charles public schools. I had outstanding teachers and was pushed to excel. It’s made a huge difference in my life.” Kear is an award-winning novelist, playwright, and biographer. After earning degrees from Aurora College and Northern Illinois University, Kear moved to Georgia where she earned her Ph.D. and taught communication courses at colleges and universities for many years before turning her attention to writing crime fiction. This is her tenth book and third novel.

Relative Innocence can be purchased at all bookstores. Excerpts and further information about Lynn Kear can be found at http://lynnkear.com
