Whitney Ferguson is a scientist who trusts what she can prove.

So when a man starts appearing in the background of her photos, she tells herself it’s nothing more than a coincidence.

Until she can’t ignore it anymore.

As Whitney digs deeper, unsettling discoveries at work begin to surface—and when two recent “accidents” begin to look far less accidental, the feeling of being watched turns into something far more dangerous. Someone is hiding something. Someone is watching her. And someone is willing to go to extreme lengths to keep the truth buried.

Is the man in her photos a threat… or a warning?

Whitney soon finds herself caught between fear and logic, unsure who she can trust—including the people closest to her. As the danger closes in, she must uncover the truth before it’s too late.

Because the biggest mistake she can make…
is focusing on the wrong suspect.

If you enjoy fast-paced suspense with unexpected twists and a touch of romance, you’ll love Out of Focus, Book 3 in the Silver Cascade Suspense Series.
