Gail Lukasik's Literary Mystery to be Published!

Congratulations to RU Faculty member Gail Lukasik, whose literary mystery,The Lost Artist, was accepted for publication by Five Star/Cengage. This stand-alone mystery with a Chicago protagonist and an Illinois setting will hit the shelves in May of 2012.

The novel tells the story of Rose Caffrey, a struggling Chicago performance artist.  Caffrey uncovers four nineteenth century murals in an old southern Illinois farmhouse, her quest to discover the unknown artist unearths buried crimes and secrets going back over four hundred years with the potential to transform American history—if she can escape the fate of the other lost artists before her.

Sounds like a page turner! Is it 2012 yet?
