King\, who did her BA in Comparative Religion at UCSC and her MA in Old Testament Theology at the Graduate Theological Union\, turned to crime (fiction) when she wrote a tale in which young theology student Mary Russell meets the famous skeptic Mr. Sherlock Holmes\, and finds herself apprenticed to him. Many of Laurie’s books have theological and religious themes. \n  \n  \nHigher Mysteries is sponsored by UCSC’s Noel Q. King Memorial and the Santa Cruz Public Libraries.
