Barbara
Heyer can hear voices of dead people. They whisper of their deaths, seek
comfort for those left behind, and occasionally even warn her about future
events. But when Barbara’s brother, Colin, is accused of murder, it will take
more than her gift to prove his innocence.
Becoming
smitten with the handsome investigator, Detective Patrick Fischer, is a serious
complication given his assignment to her brother’s case. Barbara senses there
is something far deeper—and perhaps much older—than the surface attraction
between them. Could that be why she’s visited by a mysterious woman named Emma
in her dreams? Could past life regression tie all the seemingly unconnected
events together?
Barbara
and Patrick must overcome heartache to find the truth to save Colin, and
perhaps themselves.
Excerpt:
Patrick poured the bubbly
liquid into the glasses. He offered one to Barbara and raised his.
“To the undercover,
paranormal investigator, Barbara.” He smiled and touched his glass to hers,
looking straight into her eyes.
“To you, too, Patrick, Detective
Fischer. If it hadn’t been for your determination to find out the truth, many
families wouldn’t have had the small consolation to see their relatives’
murderers behind bars.” She took a sip of the champagne.
“There’s something else I’d
like to tell you, Patrick said. He cleared his throat and took one of her hands
in his. “It’s something that I wanted to tell you... to ask you for a while,
but it never seemed the right moment.”
She heard the tremor in his
voice and was sure what was to come. Yet, she didn’t want to make it easier for
him. She saw it in his eyes, felt it in the touch of his hands. He was in love
with her as she was with him.
“So, as I was saying... I
want to ask you if—”
The telephone rang again,
cutting like a steel blade through the thick emotional atmosphere surrounding
them.
“Oh, not again.” Barbara
rolled her eyes upward and headed to the bloody thing. She picked up the
receiver and said in a voice that sounded a bit irritated, “Yes. What? Who?
Yes, one moment, please.” She turned to Patrick, “It’s for you. An emergency,
it seems.”
Patrick grabbed the phone,
“Yes, Fisher here. What? When? I’m on my way,” he said and put down the
receiver.
“I’m sorry, Barbara. There’s
an emergency, indeed. Bruce has been injured. He’s in the hospital right now.”
“Oh, goodness. Is it bad?”
“I’ve no idea. They didn’t
say. I’m going there. Sorry I spoiled the evening.”
“No need for apology,
Patrick,” Barbara replied hiding her disappointment. “Duty comes first in your
job, I know.”
“I’ll call you. Soon. There
was something important I wanted to tell... to ask you. Goodnight, Barbara,” he
said and kissed her hand affectionately. He hurried outside.
Barbara stood in the middle
of the room. It looked empty and cold without him. She took the bottle of champagne,
pushed the cork back into it, then went to the kitchen and put it in the
fridge.
Moments later, she returned
to the living room. With a reflexive gesture she picked up the packet of
cigarettes Patrick had forgotten on the table. She weighed them in her hand for
a moment and smiling, opened a drawer of the bookshelf and placed the
cigarettes inside. She took her book from the bookshelf and sat on the couch,
enveloped by the faint smell of aftershave left behind by Patrick.
Jack stretched, then came to
Barbara and curled up in her lap.
“Yes, Jack. It is like that.
It’s always been like that. Just you and me.” She sighed and opened the book.
She failed to notice a faint light hovering outside the window.
