PROTECTOR Press Release
For Immediate Release:

Laurel Dewey’s eagerly awaited debut fiction novel is a gritty, crime thriller with a paranormal edge.
Detective Jane Perry has an almost psychic instinct for solving some of Denver, Colorado’s most
emotionally jarring homicides. Known as The Blue Sense by cops, Jane has learned to keep her
intuitive gift low-key. But now that insight has taken on a new, more disturbing twist. Ever since the
car bombing and murder of a family Jane and her partner were protecting, she has been plagued
with disconnected images that predict events yet to happen. One of Jane’s disturbing visions
unexplainably leads to nine-year-old Emily Lawrence. The traumatized child is thought to have
witnessed the brutal stabbing death of her parents but is unable to remember anything about that
gruesome moment. Jane and Emily form a deep bond, unaware that they share a fateful connection.

When the killer makes a bold attempt on Emily’s life, Jane is chosen as the child’s sole protector.
However, Jane’s frightening visions continue and seem to portend a tragic end to the child’s life. In
order to solve this horrific crime, Jane must come face-to-face with her greatest fear in order to
save Emily.

Protector is a character-driven, paranormal thriller that captures the reader’s attention from the first
chapter and lingers on the psyche long after the last page is turned.
