About the Book

Series: The Art of Love and Danger #1
Author: Crystal Caudill
Publisher: Kregel Publications
Release Date: March 11, 2025
Genre: Christian Mystery & Suspense Romance
What happens when fiction becomes reality? In the corruption-infested Queen City, danger lurks in every shadow, but Lydia Pelton refuses to stay silent. She writes under a pseudonym, E. A. Dupin, crafting crime novels to exact justice and right the wrongs she sees in society. When a serial killer decides to be the sword to her pen, Lydia is confronted with the consequences of her words. Four men are dead, and the city blames her.
With murders on the rise, Officer Abraham Hall's only lead is Lydia's fiction, and he is thrust into an investigation with the "Killer Queen of Romance." Despite his misgivings about the woman, he realizes that even with his reputation for catching elusive criminals, he needs her help. But his unexpected attraction to Lydia proves as difficult to manage as the woman herself.
As the mystery unfolds, Abraham and Lydia race to rewrite the ending, not only for Cincinnati's citizens, but for their own hearts too.

Book Excerpt
“I could make you the hero of my next romance novel if that’s not threat enough. Oh! And I’ll make the heroine a criminal of the worst sort.”
Abraham folded his arms. “I thought you weren’t going to use this case as story fodder.”
“If you’re insinuating that I’m casting myself as the heroine, you are mistaken. I’d make a better villain with what I put my characters through. That being said, I think it best if I take my leave, Abraham.” Her eyes sparkled in a way that made him nervous. “I’ve just had the most brilliant idea for an actual story.”
“I’m afraid to ask.”
“You should be.” As she rose from her seat, her demeanor sobered.
“Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I’m not beyond redemption.”
“All I’ve agreed to do is be your friend.”
“‘Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.’ You have already proven a greater friend than many by speaking truth even when it was not welcomed.”
She nodded to take her leave, and all Abraham could do was watch her walk out the parlor door to the kitchen. He wasn’t sure what had just happened, but he was certain this case had just taken an interesting turn.
