Nancy G. West writes mystery/suspense/thrillers about ordinary people who face dangerous situations and struggle to save themselves or the people they love. A former UT-Austin business major, she switched to English literature and found that writing fiction is a lot more fun than accounting.

Her recent Young Adult mystery/thriller, RISKY PURSUIT, features 18-year-old Decker Savage. Convinced that the man he sees with his mother is key to the disintegration of his family, Decker follows the stranger through dark streets, to the wrong side of the law, into unexpected relationships, and into danger that tests his resourcefulness and courage. How far will he go to save the people he loves?

With themes of loss, grief, love, courage, and forgiveness, this YA mystery/thriller, has characters you won’t soon forget. A 2026 Agatha Award Nominee, RISKY PURSUIT is a book Nancy West absolutely had to write.
