Towles’ last four thrillers have each won wide industry acclaim.

Hot House (June 2022), a #1 Amazon Kindle Bestseller, was the 1st place Winner of The Book Fest 2022 literary award for Mystery/Crime and Ninety-Five (2021) won 2022 Reader’s Favorite and 2021 Literary Titan awards.

When nursing assistant Kerry Stine is blamed for the death of a hospital patient, her life goes into freefall – fired, wanted by the police, and a stranger is squatting in her apartment who believes she possesses a priceless historical treasure. Three thousand miles away, Dr. Adrian Calhoun has developed a highly controversial cure for lung cancer, making him a target and a liability to the pharmaceutical industry. Kerry’s search for the truth about her squatter leads her to a different truth – about a part of her past she’s not ready to face and a precious jewel that can’t possibly be hers. Adrian must protect his secret formula and his vulnerable control group, before Pharma gets to them first. In an unpredictable turn of events, the destinies of Adrian and Kerry collide to produce stunning revelations that change their lives forever. Towles’ taut writing blends memorable characters and cutting-edge medical research with a potent mix of power, corruption, secrets, and the lies that protect them.
Towles works full-time in the tech industry, has an MBA in IT Management, and is Board President of Oakland-based nonprofit BRIDGEGOOD.
