The Wrong Words. Adam Norcross Mysteries, #1

Adam Norcross is not in a good place. He recently buried his mother. He needs something more than the power struggle between him and his mother's cat to distract him. That something comes in the form of an assignment to find out how the country's most eminent climate scientist ended up dead in a mountain ravine. At first look, it might be an accident, but Adam's unique precognitive ability tells him this is something else, something darker.
Once he inserts himself in to Sergeant Bethany Leith's suspicions death inquiry, Norcross will use his investigative knowledge and unusual talents to help her uncover who wanted Doctor Flete dead and why. Salish University is ground zero for the investigation. Among those involved are Flete's dean, his wife, and his new girlfriend. Then there are colleagues, some of whom denounced Doctor Flete's important work.
Not to mention a woman from Adam Norcross' past.
