title: The NightShade Forensic Files: The Atlas Defect
author:  A.J. Scudiere 
description: AJ is a believer that magic is just science we havent yet figured out. She holds an MS in Human Forensic Identification as well as another in Neuroscience/Human Physiology -- or as she calls it nerdgirl. A firm believer that the best suspense relies on clues that were there all along and characters who stay smart all the way through the story, AJ works hard to get readers to turn just one more page. With over ten books out, AJs works have garnered Audie nominations, options for tv and film, as well as over twenty Best Suspense/Best Fiction of the Year awards.
