A Brush with Evil (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781733177542)

A madman who moves particles with his mind laughs when he twists the small bones of a victim's foot for kicks. Soon, he is closing throats and pinching blood vessels to extort money. It's only a matter of time before he grows even bolder.

Artist Kira McGovern--who can channel the emotional lives of the dead when she paints with their ashes--discovers the madman's secret while working on a tribute portrait of a famous Hollywood star. Everyone thought she died of natural causes until Kira relives the uniquely hideous way the madman murdered her.

Why did he kill her? What does he want? And why is he threatening a scientist on the verge of a cancer breakthrough?

Together, Kira and her empath-partner Sean hunt the killer and are forced into a deadly negotiation with him. Will the madman double-cross them and kill them silently with his incredible ability? Or will they be able to manipulate him to help with a medical crisis of their own?

Check out the first two books in The Art of the Dead series--A Brush with Death and A Brush with Fire, for a look at how Kira and Sean grow into their mysterious abilities and tangle with supernatural evil.
