He doesn’t know he has a secret power…

…until he feels a murder.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I LOVED it. One of the best short story/novellas I've read in a a long time. …Your pacing is wonderful. Keeps me glued to the screen."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The plot and characters are well developed and I loved this book... This one is highly recommended."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This book will appeal to readers of both humour and mysteries, and if like me you are a fan of both genres, then you are in for a real treat."

Mark never knew he was anything special. But when a man falls to his death from a balcony in Mark’s condo building, Mark has a shocking experience that can mean only one thing.

The man was pushed. And Mark is an empath who can feel other people’s emotions.

(Okay, that’s two things.)

But when Mark tells the cops, he seems to know too much. Now he’s the prime suspect.

Plus, his brilliant girlfriend, Akina, is growing troubled and distant. Mark fears she’s cheating on him with a mysterious suspect… but the truth may be even more painful.

Can Mark catch the real killer and find the truth about Akina before an ambitious cop hauls him away…

… or he winds up dead?

You'll love this funny, fast-paced cozy novella, because it's a twisty mystery with characters you'll love and a thrilling surprise ending.

Get it now.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This novelette length story gives great background into the Empath Detective. This fills in the gaps about how Mark got to where he is for the … novels. It is witty and sarcastic and a hoot to read."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I love the stories for the vivid and interesting characters and their fun interactions."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great story line and an exciting conclusion."

WOW! A WHOLE NEW ADVENTURE WITH MARK, THE EMPATH DETECTIVE!

Yes! Sort of.

You may have read an earlier version of this story as High-Rise Demise... or even, originally, Origin Story. See if you recognize either of these covers...

[Old Cover: HIGH-RISE DEMISE] [Old Cover: ORIGIN STORY]

The earlier version was a free download. But when I dusted off and reread this story for the first time in years, I realized that I wanted to make some changes. Improvements. Even a few new moments...

So, the basic story of MURDER FEELS DEADLY is the same. But there are new bits.

And unless you've read the older version very recently (or have a much better memory than mine, which is entirely possible), I think you'll love MURDER FEELS DEADLY just as much as you've loved reading Mark's other adventures.

Plus, this is no longer an optional side read -- this revised and improved story is now an official part of the series.

The main storyline will continue in the next novel, MURDER FEELS EVIL, which I hope to release in 2024. But you'll want to read today's new release first, because you might meet some of these characters again...

Happy reading!
