Rookie Detective Veronica Shade experiences the world in a way no one else can. Her rare condition, multi-modal synesthesia, lets her hear whispers of deceit, smell the scent of fear, and see the aura of hidden guilt. A secret she's kept hidden, her talent has catapulted her to being one of Oregon’s youngest and most promising detectives, at the cost of any semblance of a normal social life. When a young woman is found hanging from the rafters of a local Sheriff’s home, it's quickly ruled a suicide. But Veronica’s senses scream murder. As another apparent suicide surfaces in an adjacent county, Veronica is convinced they're not just connected, but the work of a sadistic killer just beginning his reign of terror. In a race against time, Veronica must hunt down a merciless killer whose victims seem to eerily mirror fragments of her own forgotten past. As she delves deeper, it becomes clear that her unique gift might be a double-edged sword—one that could cost her a chance at a normal life and make her the killer’s next victim. From the bestselling author of the Chase Adams series comes an unputdownable thriller perfect for fans of Dan Padavona, D.K. Hood, and AJ Rivers. Dive into the chilling world of Veronica Shade—once you start, you won’t be able to stop...or sleep.

True story: I used to cut up bodies. No, not for fun, you sick bastards–for work. After reaching the age of majority and fleeing the clutches of an overprotective mother, I went to university like a good boy. More than a decade later and an alphabet soup of letters after my name, I found myself looking down the double-chamber of a microscope at an eyeball. Feeling ironically introspective, I decided that it was time for a change. Three years and more than three-dozen novels later, I’ve found my true calling, one that also includes letters. Hopefully you see something in my catalog that you like, something to feast your eyes on.
