Colors of Envy

Previously published as COLOR OF ENVY: A Paranormal Mystery by J. K. Grueber.

One fatal farming “accident” in a rural town shouldn’t be a newsflash.

But Veronica Bryson’s nose for news catches the scent before the second dairy farmer dies. Gifted with a sixth sense for violent crime, she waltzes her urban attitude to the country in search of a budding serial killer, and her suspicions are soon verified with the presence of the FBI. Despite the warnings of her former flame, an FBI profiler, Ronnie is soon matching wits with the number one suspect. With his intense green eyes and cynical arrogance, Isaac Bently, the local antique dealer, raises more than her journalistic antenna . . . and she can’t shake the feeling of familiar. Whether he's the Pitchfork Slayer or a killer of another kind, something dark is brewing inside him, and illumination could be lethal.

Haunted by his past, Isaac has denied his inherent psychic talents for years, but the black-haired witch sashaying into his haven threatens to destroy his resolve. Not to mention his anonymity and serenity. With glimpses of the past and flashes of the future shaking his mental and physical balance, he’s drawn to the light enshrouding Miss Investigative Journalist, Ronnie Bryson. She is both a lodestone and his Achilles heel. For her safety and his sanity, however, he must break an oath, but whether he can delve deep enough into the dark arts to save either of them from a killer remains as elusive as his past.
