Dead In Red. The Jeff Resnick Mysteries, #2

Bartlett presents her second supernatural mystery featuring Jeff Resnick, a down-and-out insurance investigator who acquired hard-to-control psychic powers after sustaining brain injuries in a mugging. Jeff is now living with his brother, Richard, in Buffalo. Better but still weak, Jeff is struggling to adjust to his strange new abilities, which intermittently make him ill. While minding his own business in a local bar, he's asked by the bartender to look into the murder of his cousin.
Jeff instantly gets a flash of a red, rhinestone-studded high-heeled shoe. Add to that the visions of bloody hands, and he knows he must take the case. Richard insists on helping him, and Jeff acquiesces even though he remains mired in guilt over putting Richard in the line of fire yet again. Their investigation leads them into a world of fetishes and drag queens. Jeff risks his health and possibly his life, but knows he must continue, or someone he cares about will be in danger.
Bartlett's hero is complicated and mesmerizing, making for a gripping and energizing mystery.--Booklist# # #The Jeff Resnick Mysteries:Murder On The MindDead In RedChested By DeathBound By SuggestionDark WatersShattered SpiritsShadow ManJeff Resnick's Personal FilesWhen The Spirit Moves YouBah!
