Genre: Mystery/Paranormal/Native American
Description:
“On a lazy morning, paranormal investigators Sam Firecloud and Lacey
Fitzpatrick take some rare time off and head for the beach—Huntington Beach, to
be exact. What they don’t expect is to wander onto the scene of a brutal murder
committed the night before. When Sam’s initial impressions are surreptitiously
recorded by TV cameras at the same time that a local psychic named Anubis makes
startling claims about the murder, news journalists smell a ratings bonanza—the
battle of the psychics. All Sam and Lacey want to do is stop the killer from
killing again, which turns out to be more complex than they’d
imagined—especially with the annoying distraction of being partnered with
Anubis.”

Appraisal:
Navajo Medium Sam Firecloud and Lacey Fitzpatrick, an ex-LAPD homicide
detective, have become quite well known as paranormal investigators. On one of
their days off they head to Huntington Beach to stroll and take in the sights.
Unbeknownst to them a murder is discovered in a small park area just outside of
the business district. Were they drawn to Huntington Beach because of the
murder or was it serendipitous? As they are rubbernecking along with the rest
of the tourists they come across a local psychic named Anubis speaking to a
local news reporter. Sam scoffs privately to Lacey about Anubis’s reading. He
didn’t realize Marina Vasquez, another journalist they know all too well,
is directly behind him recording his words to Lacy, and of course her cameraman
got them all on tape. So begins the battle of the psychics.
After another murder Tobin, the Chief of Police in Huntington Beach,
has no other choice than to bring in Sam with Lacey, and Anubis with his lovely
assistant Falana, to enlist their talents to help solve these murders. Lacey is
in her element helping the police. The murders seem random and unrelated in
similarities. Execution Walk has a
nice pace as the plot twists into a web of ignored humanity that turns into a
standoff and bullets start flying. Tension and emotions run high for a powerful
conclusion. Then the reader will get a reprieve to breathe again, and the story
comes to a satisfying ending.
