Incident On The Right Of Way:A Johanna Kincaid Psychological Mystery of Power, Control, and Buried Secrets (Book 3)

A psychological mystery where truth is manipulated—and the cost of seeing clearly may be everything.When a decomposed body is discovered in a storm-swollen creek beside a controversial gas pipeline, the response is immediate: local, state, and federal law enforcement. It's a murder case. But with no identification, no clear motive, and time working against them, the truth should have stayed buried.Drawn in by a father unwilling to accept the official story, Johanna Kincaid begins to examine what others are too quick to dismiss. What she finds is not a single death—but a narrative already taking shape. One designed to deceive.Working alongside law enforcement for the first time, Johanna applies her expertise in behavioral science-and a disciplined intuitive awareness shaped by ancient practices-to uncover motive where none should exist.As political pressure mounts and opposing sides dig in—from environmental activists to corporate interests—Johanna follows the fractures beneath the surface. Using her expertise in behavioral science and a disciplined intuitive awareness shaped by ancient practices, she begins to uncover a pattern hidden in plain sight.Someone is controlling the story. And eliminating anything that threatens it.When Johanna's own daughter joins the forensic investigation, the stakes turn personal. The deeper Johanna looks, the clearer the truth becomes: She is no longer just observing the pattern.She's part of it. And she may be the next variable someone intends to erase.Set against the volatile intersection of land, power, and profit, Incident on the Right of Way is the third installment in the Johanna Kincaid Mystery Series—psychological mysteries where human behavior, hidden motive, and intuitive insight converge.Perfect for readers of William Kent Krueger, Anne Hillerman, and Nevada Barr who are drawn to atmospheric suspense, strong female leads, and stories where intuition is as powerful as evidence. Inside you'll find:A psychologically astute, morally grounded heroineA politically charged investigation with real-world stakesEnvironmental conflict and corporate pressureA female-led investigative teamA slow-burn unraveling of truth versus narrative The truth doesn't disappear.
