Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A boy with synesthesia—a condition that causes him to see colors when he hears sounds—tries to uncover what happened to his beautiful new neighbor—and if he was ultimately responsible in this “compelling and emotionally charged mystery that warrants comparisons to Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” (Library Journal). In this highly original “fantastic debut” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), thirteen-year-old Jasper Wishart lives in a world of dazzling color that no one else can see, least of all his dad. Words, numbers, days of the week, people’s voices—everything has its own unique shade. But recently Jasper has been haunted by a color he doesn’t like or understand: the color of murder. Convinced he’s done something terrible to his neighbor, Bee Larkham, Jasper revisits the events of the last few months to paint the story of their relationship from the very beginning. As he struggles to untangle the knot of untrustworthy memories and colors that will lead him to the truth, it seems that there’s someone else out there determined to stop him—at any cost. Full of page-turning suspense and heart-wrenching poignancy—as well as plenty of humor—The Color of Bee Larkham’s Murder is “completely original and impossible to predict” (Benjamin Ludwig, author of Ginny Moon) with a unique hero who will stay with you long after you turn the last page.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of the Chase Adams series comes a shocking thriller about a small town haunted by a terrifying killer, violent secrets, and the search for a long-forgotten truth. Rookie Detective Veronica Shade experiences the world differently than everyone else. Her rare condition, multi-modal synesthesia, causes her to hear, see, and smell things that aren't there. A secret from her peers, Veronica is well aware that this gift is one of the reasons behind her becoming one of Oregon's youngest and most promising detectives. The only drawback? It's hampered any possibility of a social life. When a young woman is found hanging from the rafters of a local Sheriff's home, those in charge are quick to chalk it up to a suicide. But as with most things, where others see suicide, Veronica sees something completely different: murder. When a second apparent suicide occurs in an adjacent county, Veronica fears that these cases aren't just connected, but that they're the start of something far more sinister. As Veronica Shade hunts for a brutal and sadistic killer, more of her forgotten past is revealed. Soon, it becomes clear that her special talent might not be a gift, but a curse that prevents her from ever living a normal life. And it might just result in her being the killer's next victim. A fresh, exciting, and addictive serial killer-thriller series for readers who can't get enough of Dan Padavona, D.K. Hood, and AJ Rivers. Forget bedtime-even after you finish racing through the last page, you won't be able to sleep.

But something goes horribly, tragically wrong during what should have been a simple transfer of goods. The sapphires vanish without a trace. Missing also is the man Kate trusted to transport the gems: her half brother, Lee, who now, quite possibly, is dead. And suddenly she is on the run, pursued by federal agents who suspect her of being the criminal mastermind of a cunning bait-and-switch scheme. Special agent Sam Groves is one of the best of the best, an essential member of the FBI's elite crime strike force and the perfect man to lead the hunt, since he could never be scammed by a beautiful confidence woman. But something is troubling about this assignment, because someone else is chasing Kate Chandler as well. Only Kate suspects the awful truth: She's unwittingly stumbled into a conspiracy of deceit, betrayal, and cold-blooded murder that goes far beyond a simple jewel heist. And a chilling, threatening voice on the telephone only confirms her worst suspicions. Getting Sam Groves, the FBI agent who's her constant shadow, to believe her is a step in the right direction -- but it may be one that's too little too late in a bloody game where terror dictates her every move and the rules are constantly changing.
