  • Smoke Screen

    Smoke Screen

    Sage Picard returns to northern Minnesota for a semester break, but her artist father is missing, a forest fire is closing in, and her inherited psychic powers have gone silent. A power broker covets her land, and a nighttime attack proves someone is hunting her. As questions mount—about Judd, her father’s protégé, and the disappearance of the husband of beloved “MT”—brash investigator Alex Rogers pushes for answers. A father-daughter game may be the key, if mystic forces awaken in time.

    A refreshing approach to combining mysticism with the thriller genre.
