About the book
FBI-certified forensic artist Carrie Stuart Parks brings her real-life expertise to her award-winning suspense novels, creating a gripping tale of intrigue and danger.
When Evelyn McTavish’s world is turned upside down by the suicide of her fiancé, she struggles to rebuild her life and support herself through her art. But then she receives a shocking call informing her that her dog is set to be put down at the pound – a dog she doesn’t even own. The shelter insists that the microchip implanted in the dog, bearing her name and address, proves that it belongs to her.
Recognizing the dog as belonging to archaeologist John Coyote, whom she had recently sketched, Evelyn decides to return the dog to its rightful owner. However, upon arriving at John’s home, she discovers his lifeless body.
Now a target herself, Evelyn crosses paths with undercover FBI agent Sawyer Price. As their investigation deepens, they uncover a web of stolen art, a mysterious archaeological dig in New Mexico, an abandoned dog, and a deadly secret. Racing against time, they must piece together the clues before it’s too late.
Praise for this book
A rollercoaster ride with a lovable protagonist and a suspenseful, twisty plot.
Over the years, Carrie has mastered forensic art, fine art, and her own brand of offbeat humor. As a novelist she combines these skills with another: puzzle writing––scattering puzzle pieces all over her fictional universe and then dropping them into place in twists, surprises, revelations, and side-pocket whimsy until the big picture emerges, never too soon, always on the brink of disaster.
I love Carrie Stuart Park's skill in writing characters with hysterical humor, unwitting courage, and page-turning mystery. I hope my readers won't abandon me completely when they learn about her!
Carrie Stuart Parks has been a favorite author of mine since I read her first book. She's one of the few authors I'll give up sleep for! Without fail, she delivers stories that reel me in and keep me turning pages until I'm done and craving more. Fragments of Fear is sure to make you a Carrie Stuart Parks addict as well! #CSPaddictandproudofit
