Annamaria Alfieri is the author of the Vera and Tolliver series of historical mysteries set in British East Africa, beginning in 1911. Described as Out of Africa meets Agatha Christie, Strange Gods, The Idol of Mombasa, and The Blasphemers are stories that capture the beauty and the danger of the African wilderness and the complexities of imposing culture on foreign land.
Annamaria's previous historical mysteries, 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."
