Jeff Resnick Mystery

Jeff Resnick-babysitter? It wasn't a reference that had ever graced his personal résumé, but when he's entrusted to care for his brother's most prized possession-his infant daughter-Jeff is tested in ways he could never have anticipated. With his girlfriend Maggie unavailable, Jeff has only one person he can turn to for advice when his tiny niece falls ill on his watch.

It's been two years since the mugging that nearly killed him, and Jeff Resnick is finally putting his life back together. But his sense of peace is shattered when the detective investigating his wife's murder calls to update him on the cold case. Jeff's wonders if his sixth sense can help him find the man who killed Shelley Resnick--and what would he do if he does?

Murder On The Mind: Liar, delusional, sympathy-seeker, fraud, or fool--all possible descriptions of a man who saw things he could not have possibly seen. Descriptions that Jeff Resnick, a former insurance investigator, is forced to prove untrue before he can get his life back. An act of random violence left Jeff with a fractured skull and a discomforting gift: visions of a local banker found hanging like a bow-kill deer left to bleed out. The visions both haunt Jeff and spur him to prove he hasn't lost his mind. It takes all Jeff's investigative skills, and the reluctant help of his older half-brother, Dr. Richard Alpert, to expose the killer. Against the gritty setting of wintry Buffalo, NY, and a tormented family history of his own, Jeff pursues a killer, which could cost Richard his life.Dead In Red: Sometimes it seems like murder and mayhem follow Jeff Resnick, challenging his psychic "sixth sense" to solve crimes. Since the vicious mugging that changed his life, he's tried to keep his unwanted gift in check. But when a bartender at his favorite watering hole is murdered, visions of a sparkling red woman's high-heeled shoe and a pair of bloody hands linger in his mind--and hit too close to home. When Jeff's older brother, Richard, last helped him with an investigation, it nearly cost him his life. Still, Richard is determined to tag along as Jeff is drawn into the seamy world of fetishes and drag queens to find a murderer before another life is taken.# # #The Jeff Resnick Mysteries:Murder On The MindDead In RedChested By DeathBound By SuggestionOther stories in the series:Bah!
