A GR1PPING CΛSE in Fox News host Trey Gowdy’s PSYCH0L0GICAL CR1ME N0VEL leaves readers breathless!

Fox News host Trey Gowdy announced his thrilling fiction debut on Tuesday, the psych0l0gical cr1me novel “The Color of D3ath,” which hits retailers on August 26 and is available for preorder now.

Gowdy wrote “The Color of D3ath,” the latest title from FOX News Books and its first fiction offering, alongside Wall Street Journal bestselling author Christopher Greyson. The novel aims to take readers inside the cat-and-mouse psychology of a KL and the district attorney who must catch him.

“Throughout my years as a prosecutor, I’ve learned that those who do this work best don’t just argue cases, they endure the fear, anger, pain, and loss of innocence of the victims they are fighting for. This book is a rare window into how the pursuit of justice doesn’t end with the verdict; it lingers long after the courtroom lights have dimmed,” Gowdy said.

“The Color of D3ath” is a dark mystery that follows Assistant District Attorney Colm Truesdale, who is left mentally scarred following the d3ath of his wife and daughter. After some time off, Truesdale is brought back into the mrd3r investigation of a young woman who runs a beauty salon outside of town. When a page from her appointment book goes missing, and then the cr1me scene burns down, it’s up to Truesdale to untangle the web of deception that implicates a powerful judge and his family.

“The Color of D3ath” hits retailers on August 26 and is available for preorder now.

“I lived that unique relationship that prosecutors have with victims, that unique relationship that we have with law enforcement, and what being surrounded by d3ath does to you,” Gowdy said on “FOX & Friends” when announcing the project.

Gowdy said he wanted to offer readers a first-hand look at the steps it takes to prosecute a mrd3r.

“I want them in the driver’s seat with me from the moment a mrd3r happens until the verdict comes back, the role that prosecutors play, the impact it has on everybody involved, so it’s a psych0l0gical cr1me drama. Yes, it’s a whodunit, yes it’s the roller coaster of emotions that you go through, but it’s also the psychology of what d3ath does to people,” Gowdy said.

“I lived it,” he added. “I lived it for almost two decades.”

Fox News host Trey Gowdy announced his fiction novel debut “The Color of D3ath” during an appearance Tuesday on “FOX & Friends.”
