Suzanne Chazin is a former journalist and the award-winning author of two suspense series. Her first, (The Fourth Angel, Flashover and Fireplay), stars Georgia Skeehan, a New York City firefighter-turned-fire-investigator. USA Today called the series, inspired by her husband, an FDNY veteran, “searing and emotionally explosive.”
Suzanne’s second series stars Hispanic homicide detective Jimmy Vega, an upstate New York cop wrestling with the new suburban melting pot and his own complicated place in it. The series (Land of Careful Shadows, A Blossom of Bright Light, No Witness but the Moon, A Place in the Wind and Voice with No Echo) has received glowing reviews for its authentic portrayal of immigrants and realistic storylines. Suzanne drew inspiration for the series from her volunteer work with immigrants and her own childhood as a first-generation American. When she’s not writing, Suzanne can be found burning dinner, helping with homework and trying to find her muse beneath two feet of laundry.

A long-buried family secret forces Detective Jimmy Vega to confront his deepest fears after the district attorney’s beautiful young bride is found hanging in her basement and the sole witness--her undocumented maid—goes missing. ICE sends an investigator to help. It’s Vega’s estranged half-sister. Together, they must face demons from Vega’s past—as well as one that’s uncomfortably close by.
A 17-year high school girl goes missing from Adele Figueroa’s outreach center after tutoring a group of immigrants, placing suspicion on the men at the center, many of whom are undocumented. When a surrender goes awry, Detective Jimmy Vega and his girlfriend, Adele, must pull together to keep the town from tearing itself apart.
Detective Jimmy Vega finds himself at the epicenter of every cop’s worst nightmare when he shoots and kills an unarmed man he was trying to arrest. The situation heats up even more when Vega discovers disturbing links between the dead man and his own mother’s brutal, unsolved murder.
A night of passion between Detective Jimmy Vega and his activist girlfriend, Adele Figueroa, sets a terrible tragedy in motion whose roots stretch back decades in the community. Can Vega and Adele unravel the mystery in time to save a vulnerable young girl and her desperate family from certain doom?
A body is discovered in a reservoir in upstate NY. The victim is young, female and Hispanic. In her purse, Detective Jimmy Vega finds a picture of a child. Where is the child? Is she alive? And what about the disturbing note found at the scene: Go back to your country. You don’t belong here. Vega must confront a small town’s most savage secrets before they tear apart the world he’s sworn to defend.
Two firefighters are killed in a deliberately-set blaze and Georgia quickly finds the culprit, a slick arsonist for hire. There’s just one catch: he’s an FBI informant. Georgia’s only hope for justice is to go undercover—a choice that brings her face-to-face with the one man she never dreamed of setting up: the long-absent father of her ten-year-old son.
Georgia investigates two mysterious fires that show signs of “flashover”—the sudden combustion of a room by simultaneous ignition. She suspects the connection between the two might be disputes over line-of-duty compensation for disable firefighters. But her life is soon upended when a close female friend disappears and her boyfriend is the suspect.
A Manhattan building lies in ashes, dozens of prominent New Yorkers are dead, and it’s up to rookie FDNY fire investigator Georgia Skeehan to solve the mystery of one of the city’s most gruesome crimes ever. But everything about the blaze is shrouded in mystery—the biblical intensity of the fire, its connection to other arsons, and the eerie, scripture laden taunts of a madman. Before it’s over, Georgia will have to confront the ultimate test of courage and come to terms with her own tormented past.
