Shadow of Danger
by Kristine
Mason
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Four
women have been found dead in the outskirts of a small Wisconsin town. The only
witness, clairvoyant Celeste Risinski, observes these brutal murders through
violent nightmares and hellish visions. The local sheriff, who believes in
Celeste’s abilities and wants to rid their peaceful community of a killer,
enlists the help on an old friend, Ian Scott, owner of a private criminal
investigation agency, CORE. Because of Ian’s dark history with Celeste’s
family, a history she knows nothing about, he sends his top criminalist, former
FBI agent John Kain to investigate.
John
doesn’t believe in Celeste’s mystic hocus-pocus, or in her visions of the
murders. But just when he’s certain they’ve solved the crimes, with the use of
science and evidence, more dead bodies are discovered. Could this somehow be
the work of the same killer or were they dealing with a copycat? To catch a
vicious murderer, the skeptical criminalist reluctantly turns to the sensual
psychic for help. Yet with each step closer to finding the killer, John finds
himself one step closer to losing his heart.

Excerpt:
John Kain knelt, resting his forearm on his thigh as he
studied one of the four victims. Bruises marred her flesh, her inner thighs,
her face and chest, while her mouth gaped open as if she’d died screaming. The
thin line of purple running around her neck was telling. She’d been strangled.
Beaten, raped, then strangled. Just like the other three.
Roy, the sheriff who’d reminded him of Paul Bunyan, minus
the ax and blue ox, came up beside him. “What are you thinking?”
John stood, then scanned the area, the dense woods, the
highway where the deputies had set up a road block. The smooth asphalt was
littered with police cruisers, several CSU vans, and maybe a half-dozen
deputies. “I can’t be sure, but I spoke with...Mitchell?”
“Yeah.” The sheriff nodded. “He’s the lead with Eau Claire’s
CSU team.”
“Mitchell tentatively confirmed your suspicions, but will
know more during the autopsies.”
“Shit.”
“My exact thought. You’re in a heap of it.” And he’d just
plowed through his own pile in Chicago, the stench still lingering, still
fresh.
When he’d joined CORE, he’d known he would see just as much
as he had when he’d been with the FBI, but Ian had promised downtime in between
cases, something he’d never had with the Bureau. Something he needed now. What
he’d witnessed while working with the Chicago PD and FBI Field Office would
haunt him for a lifetime. And as pissed as he was about having a mini vacation
dangled in front of him, then quickly pulled away with one simple phone call,
he still had a job to do.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
I didn’t pick
up my first romance novel until I was in my late twenties. Immediately hooked,
I read a bazillion books before deciding to write one of my own. After the
birth of my first son I needed something to keep my mind from turning to mush,
and Sesame Street wasn’t cutting it. While that first book will never see the
light of day, something good had come from writing it. I realized my passion,
and had found a career that I love.
When I’m not
writing contemporary romances and dark, romantic suspense novels (or reading
them!) I’m chasing after my four kids and two neurotic dogs.

ReplyDeleteBest,

The blurb sounds intriguing. I'm always on the lookout for out of the norm romance books.
