Saving John Doe: A Paranormal Kitten Cozy Mystery - The Meditating Psychic Cozy Mysteries Zeph Baxter

An unconventional sleuth - a meditating Sufi psychic with no control over her powers - a paranormal kitten - a dead body. Will Riza be able to figure out the killer before it is too late?

I recognized "John Doe" the moment the coroner pulled him out of the morgue's fridge.



If only I could also figure out why he had desperately been calling me a few days before he took his one-way trip to oblivion. Or so I thought . . . until his ghost returned to haunt me in my meditation sessions.

Hello, I am Riza Strong, a twenty-three-year-old occasional psychic, and my visions of the dead person are giving me a terrible time.
Until recently, the only good thing in my life was perhaps my cute kitten, Misty. And I am lucky to have great mentors at the Odd Puzzle Club - a bunch of genius retired ladies who love solving puzzles.

After being fired recently from an FBI internship, all I wanted to do was to sit back and relax in my Boston area apartment.

Unlike most psychics, who actually know how to handle their powers, my powers have a life of their own. Others can meet ghosts, can have visions whenever they touch objects. I have no control over when my powers work, and no idea why do I have them.
Now, faced with a dead body in an unfamiliar State border town, I have to figure out how to convince the police that the man was murdered, as well as exonerate him and find the murderer before the case is closed forever or I am kicked out of the town. My visions just come and go. And they are not helping at all!

Saving John Doe is the first in "The Occasional Psychic Cozy Mysteries" series. If you like cute fluffy animals, a small town with a lot of secrets, and murders paired with exotic dishes and caffeine, then you'll love the first installment in Riza Strong's Occasional Psychic Cozy Mysteries.
