Whispers Before Death is the first book in the series called Death Agents. Agents of the newly formed Federal Medical Investigators (FMI) investigate mysterious and unsolved medical related deaths. Each agent possesses supernatural powers, helping them solve medical mysteries throughout the United States. Their newest case takes them to Ocala, Florida where eight people throughout the city die at exactly eleven fifty-eight a.m. Each victim whispers something before suddenly dying. No one hears what they’re saying. A Marion County Sheriff Detective, Janet Bennett, is recruited to assist the agents. An immediate friendship develops between F.M.I.’s chief investigator, Simon Woods, M.D. and Detective Bennett. The FMI team and Janet frantically seek out answers to these mysterious deaths before deadly evilness reaches out toward others, including them.
Excerpt
Prologue
The students in Ms. Maddox’s eleventh-grade world history class sat at their desks looking down and reading a handout assignment. On the wall to the right of the classroom door hung a wall clock. The wall clock’s large hand sat on eleven and the small hand was on eight. In two minutes, the school bell will blare its piercing ring, ending the fourth period. One of her students, Allen Murdock, who sat in the front roll, peered up at her. His eyebrows raised as far as they could, displaying the upper whites of his eyes; his mouth gapping. Fear stared back at her.
A few seconds later, Murdock’s lips moved up and down, uttering a faint whisper--only he could hear. He then gently laid his forehead on the top of his desk.
Ms. Maddox walked over to his desk and tapped his shoulder. “Aren’t you feeling good, Allen?”
He didn’t answer her.
His head flopped to the right, resting the right side of his face on top of the desk. Wide-opened emerald-colored eyes appeared to gaze toward the desk next to him. Drool spilled out from the right side of his mouth. His chest ceased movement. A previous energetic teenager sat lifeless in his chair.

The noise threshold of the high school cafeteria, filled to near capacity, neared the decibels of a rock concert. How anyone could hear their fellow student sitting across from them at the long rectangular tables seemed impossible. With their iPad playing piercing music--and not Beethoven or other classical orchestrated renditions--these students in the future will more than likely be wearing hearing aids.
“Can you believe it,” said Cindy. “Paul asking Mary to the Senior Prom and not you. What a jerk. And I thought you and Paul were good friends.”
“I thought we were too,” said Pam, sitting across from Cindy in a crowded high school cafeteria table.
“I’m sure this is for the best. I have a feeling he would’ve ignored you at the Prom anyway.”
A lanky, pimple-faced boy walked up to Cindy from behind. “Hi, Cindy.”
She turned and looked up. “Hey, Aaron. What’s going on?”
“Not much.”
Cindy turned back toward Pam; whose head now lay on top of crossed arms. Reaching over the table, she flicked her middle finger on top of Pam’s head. She didn’t flinch. “Come on girl. You can’t be that tired. The lunch bell’s going to ring in a few minutes.” She flicked her finger again.
Pam still didn’t move.
She reached across the table, lifting Pam’s head off her arms. Dead eyes stared back at her.
Cindy’s scream silenced the noisy high school cafeteria.
