COMING IN AUGUST! The third book in the Front Range Mystery series, GRAVITY. Clare Standish is still grieving the loss of her family in a hit and run crash with a pick-up truck fourteen years ago. After years of depression, she finds herself again as a professional photographer, but even now, she sometimes thinks that a leap from one of the many high places in the Front Range might be merely “a short flight with a sudden stop.” That is, until she discovers the body of stabbing victim Dr. Marla Pleasant on a light rail train from Union Station.

Littleton Police Detective Marshall, impressed with her photographs, offers her a job as crime scene photographer. With help from experienced Douglas County crime scene photographer, Sheldon Davis, her disabled brother, and her long-time lover, she launches her new career with Marshall and with a second murder seemingly related to Dr. Pleasant's. In return, Marshall helps her find out the truth behind the crash that destroyed her family.

Could one of Clare’s many friends and acquaintances be behind the two murders? Or worse yet, the unknown driver of that truck fourteen years ago?

ALSO BY KATE GRAYSON:

MISFORTUNE is the first in the series of Front Range Mysteries. In it, Vera Wyndom, a Tarot card reader in a down-at-heels Denver neighborhood suspects that the disappearance of young Elena Perez and her baby is related to the efforts of a predatory land developer to turn her close knit neighborhood into a parking lot for a big box store. But her Tarot cards are only giving her cryptic answers. So with her neighbors, a runaway teenager, and her third and favorite ex-husband, she looks for the answers in the skyscrapers of Denver and the migrant worker camps of southern Colorado.

HIDE OUT, the second book in the series, follows newly minted Douglas County Sheriff's Deputy Duane Mangione and his partner, Dolores Vincent, as they work to solve two cold and one very hot murder in the tiny village of Beaubrae. Dolores, recovering from an abusive marriage finds the perfect house in the tiny Front Range village of Beaubrae. There is only one drawback -- the murdered body of Donald Tremblay in the front hall.

And who is the skeleton in the cellar? And why is everyone talking about gold?

Both books are available on Kindle & in paperback on Amazon.
