Nero Blanc's Bio

The Crossword Mystery series is a collaboration created by the husband and wife writing team of Steve Zettler and Cordelia Frances Biddle. Cordelia's previous work has been primarily historical fiction (Beneath the Wind and Murder at San Simeon), while Steve's has been more international thrillers (The Second Man, Double Identity and Ronin). However, the concept of writing in partnership has always fascinated them.

Crossword editor Belle Graham and P.I. Rosco Polycrates are sharpening their pencils and their minds to solve the puzzles that end in murder. Crossword puzzles throughout the novels can be filled in to help solve the crimes.
