Dead Letters

When psychic Tennyson Grimm receives a ransom-style letter with block printing and no return address, he thinks it’s a joke. Opening the message, Ten realizes the contents are dead serious. The anonymous author claims Ronan has fallen off the wagon and is breaking his wedding vows. Angry, bewildered, and feeling lost, Ten hides the letter, hoping that the author has gotten their kicks and will not make further contact.

Detective Ronan O’Mara has so much on his plate that he fails to notice something is bothering Tennyson. In between working cold cases, he’s helping Jude recover from his accident and training a new member of the Salem Police Cold Case Unit, Greeley Fitzgibbon. When Jude mentions Cope is struggling with something, Ronan promises to get to the bottom of it, never imagining Tennyson is caught up in the same nightmare.

Receiving a second anonymous letter, Ten knows he needs to tell someone what’s going on. He calls a meeting with the West Side Magick psychics and learns all of them have been receiving poisoned pen letters accusing their spouses of being unfaithful. Worst of all, Cope’s letter intimates that Jude’s accident was nothing of the kind and accuses him of pushing his husband down the stairs. As the meeting ends, both Ronan and Jude burst into the office, angry, waving similar letters and demanding answers.

Who is writing the letters? Why? What does the anonymous author want? More importantly, who’s next?
