"As the stakes rise, Sampson finds himself caught in a dangerous conspiracy in which every revelation raises new questions and the people he cares about are increasingly put at risk. To save them, Sampson must untangle a web of political intrigue and lethal secrets. Readers who enjoy political thrillers may appreciate the paranormal twist provided by Sampson's abilities..." --KIrkus Reviews

Death Watch is a propulsive thriller about power, paranoia, and the price of knowing too much-perfect for readers of Baldacci and Silva.

A winter storm grounds flights in Syracuse, but it's not the only thing about to explode. When Sampson, a crowd-pleasing mind reader brushes the hand of Senator Alan Grant, the presidential front-runner, he's hit by a blinding vision: the senator's death. Minutes later, a bomb rocks the airport. With a wounded CIA agent, a hard-nosed local cop, and a killer still at large, Sampson is dragged into a conspiracy that climbs from a stolen utility truck to the highest offices in Washington. As the clock runs down, the one weapon that can keep Grant alive is the gift that's destroying Sampson-his ability to glimpse what comes next.

Industry Reviews

"From the first shocking vision to the last perfectly cruel twist, Death Watch had me in its grip. Markert understands how our devices, our politics, and our private fears tangle-and he turns that into rocket fuel. It's stylish, timely, and unrelenting. Clear your night and let this one take you."

-Liza Andrews, author of Facelift and Lunch Break: A Pandemic Era Suspense

"As a haunter, I live for timing, misdirection, and the perfect reveal, and Death Watch nails all three. Tom Markert's debut thriller provides hooks that feel chillingly plausible, and the twists never stop. Stylish, timely, and wickedly entertaining-this one lingers like fog."

-Jan Knuth, owner/operator of Grey House Haunts and co-author of Not Afraid to Slay: Women of the Haunt Industry

"Tense, timely, and wickedly entertaining. Markert marries high-tech paranoia with human stakes you feel in your chest. I thought I knew where we were headed-then the floor dropped. That's my favorite kind of thriller."

-Claudia Cataldi, president, Brazilian Press Association of Electronic and Digital Media-RJ, alumni, Brazilian War College
