Own an autographed copy of Edgar award winner Julie Smith's Louisiana Lament, a mystery novel starring female sleuth Talba Wallis. If you're familiar with Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, than you're sure to enjoy Tabitha Wallis.

From Booklist's review, Louisiana Lament "catapults [Talba Wallis] the multitalented PI, computer expert, and poet into a double-homicide investigation. A mother and daughter are found murdered in their stately home, the mother is known as a modern-day female Gatsby. She came from nowhere, hosted elaborate parties, and now has ended up dead in her pool. Driving Wallis' interest in the case is the fact that her sister, a painter of decorative murals at the house, is a prime suspect. Wallis ranges throughout the state in the course of her investigation, giving the reader great lashings of Louisiana atmosphere."
