Synopsis
Life is already bad enough after Tisha Adams loses both her job and her beautiful Manhattan apartment. Living in a musty garage apartment and working for her uncle in Queens, her life is upended when she witnesses a murder on her train commute.
When the body disappears, she teams up with Detective Murphy, a man with mysterious abilities. But Tisha is keeping a secret of her own, a skill she’s always hated and feared. The dead speak to her. And if she touches a person, their past, present and future are revealed to her.
But as the body count rises, and those closest to Tisha are drawn into the nightmare, Tisha’s only choice is to reach out to her estranged grandmother to learn more about her intuitive talents. In a race against the clock to rescue those in danger and solve the murders, she’ll need all her abilities. Even the gift she’s been afraid to use. The dead will speak, but only if she’s willing to listen.
Excerpt
I woke with a start. I was sweating and my heart beat as if I had just run a marathon. The nightmare that had haunted me as a child was back. The fear of the dark and the demons taunting me were back…in spite of the therapy.
I bolted up, but saw nothing. I must be going blind. I shut my eyes and tried opening them again. There wasn’t anything but a black nothingness like the disconnected hole my life had become.
I pulled my hand from beneath my covers and brought it to my face but couldn’t make out my five digits or the sparkle of the custom made Esmeralda Designs ring my father had given me for graduation. I glanced toward my nightstand, but the alarm clock didn’t greet me with its tall, bright, neon numbers and its faint hum was silent. I shifted my gaze to the left and looked toward the window on the far side of the bedroom where the lights that illuminated the driveway should have been shining into my apartment, but the windows weren’t visible.
About the Author
Susan Peterson Wisnewski is an indie author from the northeast. She writes thrillers and paranormal with a sprinkling of chick lit and horror.
From a cruncher of numbers to a stringer of words, she decided it was time to follow her dreams and put down on paper all of those stories that floated around in her head. Raised in New York City and Long Island, she is a consummate shopaholic having been given the gift of style from her mother and grandmother. When not writing, she can be found shopping, visiting museums, gardening, or being walked by her oversized puppy.
Her books are a genre mix all neatly packaged together. Surprise and twists keep her readers guessing and she has been accused of writing books that can’t be put down. Pushing characters to challenges themselves is her trademark as is a creating strong female characters – no damsels in distress here. Her inspiration comes from seeing a situation and then enhancing it to create an unusual story line. And yes, she does see ghosts, or spirits as they prefer to be called and has had her run ins with a fairy or two.
If you have a book club and live on Long Island or in the Southern Vermont area, she’d be happy to come for a visit.
