A psychological mystery rooted in human behavior, environmental conflict, and the edge of intuition.
When a decomposed body is discovered in a storm-swollen creek beside a controversial gas pipeline, the question is immediate: accident-or murder? The discovery ignites a political firestorm, drawing in activists, corporate interests, and a grieving father desperate for answers.
Psychologist Johanna Kincaid wants no part of it-until that father finds her.
As cleanup crews dredge the site, Johanna applies her expertise in behavioral science alongside a quieter, hard-earned intuitive awareness-one that reveals what others overlook. What emerges is not just motive, but design. The investigation winds through rural backroads and buried alliances-from environmental protestors to pipeline crews-until a darker truth surfaces: someone is shaping the narrative from the shadows.
When Johanna's own daughter joins the forensic DNA tracking team, the case turns personal-and dangerous. The deeper Johanna looks, the clearer it becomes: she's no longer just investigating the story. She's part of it. And she may be the next piece someone intends to remove.
Set against the high-stakes clash of land, power, and profit, Incident on the Right of Way blends psychological insight with grounded ancestral awareness to expose a timeless motive: greed.
Perfect for readers of William Kent Krueger, Anne Hillerman, and Nevada Barr who are drawn to atmospheric mysteries with strong female leads and a subtle, authentic mystical edge.
Inside you'll find:
- A psychologically astute, morally grounded heroine
- A female-led investigative team
- Environmental and corporate conflict rooted in real-world stakes
- A slow-burn mystery where intuition is as powerful as evidence
Step into the flood. The truth doesn't stay buried-it rises.
