The Shadows Behind Her Smile

By Karen Millie-James

When her husband is killed in action, psychic medium Cydney Granger finds herself cut off from the one voice she needs to hear most.

Four years after her husband, Captain Steve Granger, was killed while serving in Afghanistan, Cydney Granger has learned how to conceal her feelings from the outside world. She is a successful corporate forensic investigator and a devoted mother to teenage twins. Inside, she is still waiting to hear Steve's voice.

Cydney is a psychic medium, yet Steve remains unreachable. No goodbye. No reassurance. Just silence.

When the spirit of Ray Gordon, a recently deceased financier with unfinished business, appears and begs her to expose the corruption that destroyed his family, Cydney agrees for one reason alone. Ray promises that if she helps him, he will help her connect with Steve.

What begins as an act of grief pulls Cydney into a dangerous investigation of corporate fraud, and blackmail. As the stakes rise to attempted murder and kidnapping, Cydney must uncover the truth before everything she loves is destroyed.

The Blacklist meets Medium, The Shadows Behind Her Smile is an emotionally driven paranormal corporate thriller about grief, corruption, and the hope that love does not end with death.
