ABOUT THE BOOK

 
Title: Fragments of Fear 
Author: Carrie Stuart Parks  
Publisher: Thomas Nelson 
Release Date: July 23, 2019  
Genre: Inspirational Suspense/Thriller

Stolen art. A New Mexico archaeological dig. An abandoned dog. And a secret that’s worth killing for.

Evelyn McTavish’s world came crashing down with the suicide of her fiancé. As she struggles to put her life back together and make a living from her art, she receives a call that her dog is about to be destroyed at the pound. Except she doesn’t own a dog. The shelter is adamant that the microchip embedded in the canine with her name and address makes it hers.

Evelyn recognizes the dog as one owned by archaeologist John Coyote because she was commissioned to draw the two of them. The simple solution is to return the dog to his owner—but she arrives only to discover John’s murdered body.

As Evelyn herself becomes a target, she crosses paths with undercover FBI agent Sawyer Price. The more he gets to know her, the more personally invested he becomes in keeping her safe. Together, they’re desperate to find the links between so many disparate pieces.

And the clock is ticking.  

“Over the years, Carrie has mastered forensic art, fine art, and her own brand of offbeat humor. As a novelist she combines these skills with another: puzzle writing––scattering puzzle pieces all over her fictional universe and then dropping them into place in twists, surprises, revelations, and side-pocket whimsy until the big picture emerges, never too soon, always on the brink of disaster.” —Frank Peretti

  Explain your forensic background in law enforcement?

 Since 1981, I’ve been a forensic artist—an amazing feat since I’m only . . .um. . . well, younger than that. In those years, I’ve seen some shifts and trends, but some things have never changed. Despite the overwhelming prevalence of computers in almost every other field, they have never been able to replace a trained forensic artist. 
 I’m a certified composite artist, forensic artist by the International Association for Identification. I am a forensic art instructor and my husband and I are the largest forensic art instructors in the world. I teach workshops to FBI agents, Secret Service agents and law enforcement offices across the county. 
 In writing about the field, I’ve learned that people are fascinated with the real-life drama and mysteries around them. It’s human nature to want to make sense of senseless acts and to put together the puzzle pieces so that you see a bigger picture.
