Saving John Doe: A Paranormal Cat Cozy Mystery
A psychic. A string of missed calls. A dead man with no name.
Riza Strong only meant to check her phone. Instead, the string of missed calls drags her out of Boston and into Mulberry, Massachusetts—where the caller lies cold, tagged only as John Doe.
But the dead don’t rest quietly around Riza. Visions whisper of unfinished business, Misty the kitten prowls after unseen trails, and Mulberry’s shadows seem determined to keep their secrets buried. Every answer Riza uncovers leads to sharper Who was John Doe? Why was he trying to reach her? And how far will the living go to make sure she never finds out?
With her gifts pulling her deeper into danger, Riza must untangle a mystery that blurs the line between the living and the dead—before the next call comes for her.
Saving John Doe is the first in a cozy paranormal mystery series, perfect for readers who enjoy small-town secrets, ghostly puzzles, and clever cats with more than a little attitude.

About the author
Zeph Baxter
39 books6 followersZeph's background includes electrical engineering and computer science, with a Master's from Boston University and a PhD and postdoctoral experience from the University of Stirling, Scotland. He writes cozy mysteries, sci-fi, and LitRPG.
When he wrote his first novel, he was 98% sure he was about to become the next great voice in literature. He quit his job, embraced his destiny, and—yes—grew a long beard, because nothing says “serious writer” like facial hair that could double as a small woodland habitat.
Six months later, the beard was still thriving. The fame? Not so much.
But Zeph didn’t quit. Years later, he’s written several books and is still writing, and dreaming of becoming a full-time author.
For more weird adventures and stories that are a mix of genres, be sure to check out his books.
