The Dead Heat of Summer: Krewe of Hunters

by Heather Graham

About this book

In the humid, shadow-drenched streets of New Orleans, Casey Nicholson runs a quiet tarot shop in Jackson Square, believing her sensitivity is merely an intuitive gift for reading people. That belief shatters when the restless spirit of Lena Marceau appears in a cemetery, pleading for help to solve her own brutal murder. Thrust into a terrifying urban fantasy world where the veil between the living and the dead is dangerously thin, Casey finds herself targeted by a ruthless conspiracy surrounding a powerful industrial empire.

Enter Special Agent Ryder McKinley, a rugged operative from the elite Krewe of Hunters. Ryder carries his own heavy burden, arriving in the city to investigate his cousin’s mysterious death. He is a man who understands the chilling reality of spirits, and when his path crosses with Casey’s, he realizes she has become a pawn in a lethal game of greed and vengeance.

This gripping paranormal romance masterfully blends spine-tingling suspense with an undeniable spark of chemistry. As Casey and Ryder delve into the darkness to protect the living and find justice for the dead, they must confront a very human evil that refuses to stay buried. Perfect for fans of supernatural mystery, this story is a pulse-pounding race against time.
