Annamaria Alfieri is the author of Strange Gods, set in the burgeoning British East African town of Nairobi in 1911. Kirkus said of it, “Alfieri aims for the audience who loved Out of Africa, with heartbreaking romance married to a complex mystery.” Her previous historical mysteries, which are all set in South America, have garnered critical acclaim. The Christian Science Monitor chose her Blood Tango as one of ten must-read thrillers. Of her Invisible Country, Kirkus Reviews said, “Alfieri has written an antiwar mystery that compares with the notable novels of Charles Todd.” The Washington Post said of her debut novel, “As both history and mystery, City of Silver glitters.”
She is a past president of the New York Chapter of MWA and the Vice President of the Board of the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival. She lives in New York City.
