Dangerous Inspiration
The Ronan Mezini Mysteries (Book Two)
Greg Stone
Synesthesia alters detective-turned-novelist Ronan Mezini’s perceptions. But can it help him find the killer?
Detective-turned-novelist Ronan Mezini has skewed perceptions because of a condition called synesthesia, which for him transforms sounds into colors. These visions give him unusual insights that help him solve a case.
So when a collection of eccentric — and possibly violent — creative people come together at an elite artists' colony in rural Vermont, murders occur in rapid succession and suspicion falls on everyone as Mezini unearths the founding family's secrets.

“Dangerous Inspiration, Greg Stone’s first novel, is a brilliantly written story that is captivating and had me reading it from start to finish without stopping. It has many intriguing twists and turns, the prose is deft and elegant, and the end sublimely surprising.”

Andrea Purgatori –
“Imagine a bunch of strangers, a secret which binds them, then follow the colours of perception and you’ll have the sort of Dangerous Inspiration Agatha Christie would have created.”
Andrea Purgatori, journalist and author of Four Little Oysters
Steve Schlozman –
“Dangerous Inspiration is a ‘whodunit’ that draws its roots from a different era, but takes place firmly in today’s world. In fact, it’s a lot like its wry and amusing protagonist. This book is smart, but not pedantic. It is observant, but it doesn’t drown you in details. And it works just as well with a beer as it does with a nice cup of tea. But don’t think that means that you’ll be putting it down.”
Steve Schlozman, MD, author of The Zombie Autopsies

“Gripping from the outset … a good old whodunnit!”

F. James Pensiero –
“Ronan Mezini is a hard-boiled ex-detective who likes philosophy, Shakespeare, good red wine and complicated women. He’s trying to write a book at an artist’s retreat in Vermont but gets caught up in a series of murders committed during a wild storm. Mezini likes to talk to himself, and his often hilarious soliloquies keep this whodunit moving from beginning to end.”
F. James Pensiero, Deputy Managing Editor (Retired), The Wall Street Journal
Ina Saltz –
“Avid mystery buffs (like myself) will instantly recognize the familiar (and beloved) tropes of Dangerous Inspiration, a classic homage to Christie and her ilk: a group of strangers summoned to an isolated location, their psychological unveiling during the ensuing mayhem, and the final denouement which reveals all. Within this construct, and with many winks to it throughout, Greg Stone has created a memorable group of quirky characters. Events quickly unfold in this action packed story with twists and turns leading to an unexpected resolution. I thoroughly enjoyed it!”
