Description
If you're not paranoid, you're not paying attention'

Cary Mackin is a TV journalist who has covered crime for nearly twenty years. After losing her job she moves to a small town in Connecticut'only to get caught up in the web of a deranged serial killer. Cary has a dark secret that drives everything she does: a deep-seated, lifelong fear that one day she will be murdered. As the madman Cary stumbled upon continues to terrorize the beautiful countryside where she now resides, will her premonition come true?

"Premonition'a psycho-thriller roller coaster ride that probes the dark corners of one woman's seemingly overwhelming paranoia'or is it? From a crime and justice expert, Premonition nails every detail of the criminal mind, the hunter and the hunted. Premonition is full of twists and surprises'I love it! Bravo!' 'Nancy Grace, Founder, CrimeOnline.com, Host of CrimeStories on Fox Nation, Sirius XM, and NYT Bestselling Author

'my friend and colleague at Court TV, Wendy Whitman, has created a compelling psychological thriller filled with shocking twists that captivate the reader to the very end'and wanting more.  Whitman takes daring literary risks with a complex character, Cary Mackin, and her haunting premonition that she will one day be murdered. Driven by her foreboding fear, Mackin deploys extraordinary investigative and forensic skills to track down the man she sees as the killer'before he strikes again'at her! Whitman weaves plot, personality, and prose in a high-octane suspense that will give you paper cuts as you quickly turn the pages. Premonition offers a gripping storyline'and a chilling chase to an ending that you never expected.' 'Gregg Jarrett, Network Legal Analyst and Bestselling Author

'Whitman's debut novel is sure to be a great read for true crime fans. If there is anyone best suited to write a book about the reality of evil in this crazy world we live in, it's Whitman. Her book is unique because although fiction, it so mirrors reality that each page hits home more and more. Having been in the criminal law arena for fifty-five years and having dealt with two notorious serial killer cases, Whitman's novel captures all aspects of the utter insanity of the criminal mind. In this world of Covid, we all need some respite and a great book is just what the doctor ordered.' 'Gerald P. Boyle, Attorney, Represented Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer

'Chilling and original, Premonition is a brilliant debut thriller from Wendy Whitman, an insider whose deep knowledge of crime and the law has created a platform for suspenseful storytelling. Taut and fast-paced, Whitman's tale, and her unique central character, combine to create a riveting plot that drives the story to its stunning conclusion.' 'Jack Ford, Emmy and Peabody Award'Winning Journalist and Bestselling Author of Chariot on the Mountain

'All of those cases on Court TV certainly permeated the mind of producer Wendy Whitman. Her book is a truly breathless thriller through every twist and turn. A stellar debut novel with a terrific female heroine!' 'Rikki Klieman, Attorney and CBS News Legal Analyst

'A unique psychological thriller that weaves true crime into a plot that keeps the reader captivated from the very first page. A bold, heartfelt debut novel from an author who has created one of the most complex and provocative heroines in recent memory. A perfect read sure to keep you up at night.' 'Rita Cosby, Emmy-Winning TV Host and Bestselling Author of Quiet Hero 

'the decades of Wendy Whitman's focus and dedication to the crime and justice genre shine through each page, as she spins the yarn in this gripping crime tale. Speaking from experience that has imbued her with personal knowledge of the inner workings of hundreds of criminal minds, she is an authoritative voice in telling crime stories'because she has lived through reporting some of the most disturbing ones in American history. Brava, Wendy!' 'Ashleigh Banfield, Court TV Special Contributor and Host of Judgment with Ashleigh Banfield

'Wendy Whitman's debut novel is more than a crime story. Readers will identify with some of her protagonist's obsessions including food choices ('borderline vegan') and her love for animals. Peppered throughout the book are safety tips drawn from actual cases Whitman learned from years covering criminal trials at Court TV where she rose from a producer to a programming executive. There's something for everyone in Premonition.' 'Beth Karas, Former Prosecutor and Host of Oxygen's Snapped: Notorious

'Gripping, suspenseful, and thoughtful, Premonition gives a behind the scenes look at the dangers that surround us as we go about our daily lives. If you're looking for a crime thriller to get lost in, this is it.' 'Dr. Robi Ludwig, Psychotherapist, TV Personality, and Author
