Jane Pek is the author of "The Rivals."

Jane Pek’s new book, The Rivals, is a follow up to her successful mystery debut, The Verifiers.

Picking up with protagonist Claudia Lin, the book combines the genres of murder mystery, spy novel, and a little bit of romance. I recently spoke with Jane Pek about why she loves books in a series and we touch on the the perils of online dating.
