A Brush with Fire - Jody, Summers

. .

Résumé :
Second in the Art of the Dead Series Evil Comes Alive When She Paints With Ashes of the Dead. A murderer is skinning the faces of victims and stretching them over wooden masks, then setting fires and staking the masks into the ground. The faces are left to watch the blazing inferno so that the dead can witness everything burn to the ground. The FBI is at a loss for leads and motives. In desperation, an agent asks New Orleans painter Kira McGovern for help. She is, after all, the painter who solved the cold case of a serial killer when she painted with the ashes of the murderer and unleashed its secrets. Would she paint with the ashes of the victims to see if-by channeling the memories of the dead-she could provide any leads? Reluctantly, Kira agrees. From the moment her ash-swirled paints hit the canvas, she and her fianc?, Sean Easton, realize they've tapped into a twisted madness that shakes them both to their core. Worse, somehow, this mad energy senses it's being hunted and pushes back-with murderous intent. The tables soon turn and it's Kira who is being hunted. Can she and Sean escape the fiery evil that set its sights on them? Or will they become just two more victims, faces stretched over wooden masks, to witness Sean's beloved farm burn? Follow Kira's and Sean's mysterious brushes with supernatural evil in the next book in the series, A Brush With Evil.
