Rebecca A. Miles (Stepek) was raised, educated, and established her career in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. From her work as a psychologist specializing in Behavioral Medicine in Oncology, she became a recognized expert and presenter on grief, the grieving process, and the psychology of dealing with loss. In Broken Glass, the second novel in her Pittsburgh Murder Mystery Series, Kate Chambers, amateur sleuth, and Chief Detective Stefan Jablonsky, follow the trial of a murderer into the rarified world of art collecting. They come to understand that collectors are often driven by an obsession to possess certain objects, either because they appreciate and are moved by their beauty, or because they imbue the object with a spiritual significance. Sometimes the desire to possess art is simply by greed. Kate and Jablonsky must answer the question of whether there is any limit to what a collector in the grip of obsession will do in order to obtain an antique piece of blown glass.Rebecca A.
