A Murder in the Making

About the book

The latest captivating novel in a new mystery series features Dovey Van Dalen, a former belle of 1840s Copenhagen who is now a mystic in present-day Washington, D.C., tasked with recovering magical property from the unbound using any means necessary.

Despite being over 200 years old, Dovey unexpectedly finds herself falling for Grant ‘Gib’ Barlow, the FBI agent who aided her in solving her previous case. While a romance with an unbound is risky, it could be deadly for Gib, as Dovey’s employer Elric Ostergaard, the most powerful mystic in the world, is also her long-time lover.

Efforts to avoid Gib are futile when Ursula Göransdotter, Dovey’s best friend and fellow mystic, sets them up on a lunch date where they learn of a murdered agent. The crime scene baffles everyone, but Dovey recognizes the tell-tale signs of a Crushing Spell cast by a powerful mystic - possibly Elric. As more agents are killed, Dovey races to find Elric for answers.

With the FBI body count rising, it becomes evident that a rogue mystic is targeting unbound agents. As another magical trinket goes missing, a tense showdown with Elric, a shocking revelation about Gib, and imminent danger for all involved, Dovey must navigate through love triangles, power struggles, and her own vulnerable heart.
