Red Haunting is an intense, compelling, and engaging psychological thriller introducing Nikki Austen, Washington D.C.'s Metro Police Department's most successful and well-known homicide detective. Nikki could have never predicted the tangled web of mystery and intrigue that her latest murder case would bring. When a gruesome murder occurs at the estate of prominent U.S. Senator Scott Reed from Mississippi, Nikki is asked to team with the FBI to solve what on surface appears to be a copycat murder of an unknown victim and the apparent abduction of the senator. A two-year old cold case with details eerily similar to the new one had baffled Nikki, the FBI and other authorities as they had failed to explain the disappearance of that famous politician who had immense power, money, and influence. Nikki quickly learns that her new case may be more about someone seeking revenge as unfolding events expose deep, dark secrets about her private life, including her mysterious avoidance of the color red. She and investigator colleague Marcus Bianco team together as they battle to understand how her past and her haunting dreams could possibly be connected to two grisly murders and the disappearance of two prominent politicians. Prepare yourself for gripping twists, turns, and shocking surprises as you immerse yourself in a world of bizarre murders, stalking, sexual harassment, and "MeToo" victims. Exposing today's truth that people are not really who you think they are, Michael Grantham is certain to become one of yours and America's favorite storytellers.
