Dead Cell by Chris Johnson
The top selling psychic detective series starts here…
“A psychic thriller that kept me engaged the whole way through.” – Goodreads Reviewer
People are dying across Statton city in unexplainable road accidents. Some are bizarre enough to make investigators wonder, how did they die? The list grows daily with the only connection being tattooed numbers on the victims that increase with each horrifying death.
When psychic PI Craig Ramsey’s adopted daughter becomes the next casualty, he takes the case. His efforts soon conflict with police detective Brianna Cogan, a sceptic who thinks Ramsey’s psychic abilities are fake. Ramsey believes supernatural forces are at work behind the deaths; Cogan thinks it’s something tangible and won’t cop a phony clairvoyant stepping on her toes.
Events soon draw them into a web of intrigue, supernatural assassins, and a secret government conspiracy that’s deeper and darker than they realise.
Each day that the killer roams free, the closer the city hurtles to greater chaos.
“This is the first ‘supernatural’ thriller I’ve read and really enjoyed. The novel had several intriguing plots, was fast-paced, and Johnson’s exquisite description of action-packed scenes had me re-reading excerpts.” – Goodreads Reviewer
If you like supernatural thrillers with a touch of dry humour, cinematic action and toughness, you won’t be able to put down the instantly addictive Craig Ramsey series.

In his varied career, Chris has hustled at Three-Card Monte, read celebrities palms, publicly predicted the 1992 Los Angeles Riots a week beforehand, and hunted ghosts. But his most unusual gig is performing as a professional mentalist and psychic entertainer on stage, television, radio, and at private events. He's performed shows for the public, at corporate functions, and private parties — and still does today.
Chris is also collaborating on a romance novel with the love of his life for future release.

I've always loved writing ever since I was old enough to string words together on paper.

Rush Mullens saw her parents, Joseph and Carmen, being murdered before her eyes as an 8 year old child– ten cloaked figures destroying her once peaceful life. She did not know the men responsible, but she would find them. She wanted revenge…she needed it.
When Lord Justin Maston came to take her in to his care, she vowed she would use this opportunity to find the murderer’s she chased. She did not think she would also find a boy she could love more than her own life.
Bailey Maston had never supposed to mean any more to her than a friend, one who could protect her from the new lifestyle she had been forced into. What he had become though was a young man who could take her breath away, and steal her heart.
Rush knew Bailey knew nothing of her family, or the life she was raised to live. She doubted should he learn the truth that he would understand. She could not let him endanger the revenge she so craved to seek. Nor could she ignore that she was willing to risk all – her past, her life, her reputation – just to sample an ounce of passion from this man.
Bailey Maston wanted to find a woman – the perfect woman – to give his heart to. He wanted to trust that such a person could exist that would never betray him. Everything he had seen in his young life, both at home and in society, told him what a foolish dream this was. Such a woman could never exist. Even if she did, he doubted she would ever willingly give her heart to a love-starved boy like him.
Foolish though his dream was, Bailey could not help being drawn to the young orphaned girl his parents had taken in.
He wanted her friendship and the attention she so willingly offered to him.
He craved to feel the passion he knew was hidden deep inside her.
What he did not want was to fall in love with her.
When Bailey finally discovers the truth of Rush’s life, and the revenge she was enacting, he feels betrayed. Foolish though it was, he hopes that beyond this betrayal may yet lay the woman he has always yearned to find…a woman he craved to give his well-guarded heart to.
