MIND READER

* First published by Vicki Hinze writing as Victoria Cole in 1993. Two time Maggie Award of Excellence Finalist.*

SHE KNOWS A CHILD’S LIFE IS IN DANGER BUT NO ONE BELIEVES HER.

HE KNOWS SHE’S A FRAUD AND IS OUT TO PROVE IT.

THEY SEEK THE TRUTH AND DISCOVER THE TRUTH CAN SET YOU FREE . . . OR KILL YOU

Caron Chalmers is an empath. A mind reader cursed with imaging only victims. She sees what they see, feels what they feel, endures what they endure and has since she was seven. But even with all the sensory perception and insights, sometimes she fails to save victims in time. Sometimes she interprets the signs wrong–and a year ago, she did exactly that. She messed up and a victim died. Caron nearly died with her. Her “gift” shut down.

Now it’s back. There’s another victim–this time a child–and because of the mistake made last year and the shut-down, her police contact, though aware of her many successes, isn’t willing to stake his career on her. Yet he can’t dismiss her and calls in help from a private investigator, Parker Simms: a man with a past as bleak as Caron’s and a specific agenda of his own: proving Caron Chalmers is the fraud he believes her to be.

In a hostile alliance, Caron and Parker seek the truth . . . and discover a labrynth of lies and deceptions that require skills and experience they have and trust they don’t but must somehow find before the child becomes another victim lost. Yet trust never comes without costs, and some are too steep to pay.

The situation grows desperate. Time for the child’s survival grows short . . . and for Caron and Parker, who must live with the consequences of missteps and wrong moves, the unthinkable happens: Stakes that couldn’t get any higher soar.

Pool of Deceit (An Inspector Fortnam Mystery)

Here’s the set-up:

Pool of Deceit features Alistair Fortnam of New Scotland Yard, a brilliant detective who has extensive training in Behavioural Sciences.
Fortnam’s had a gilded upbringing, a car-wreck of a marriage (now many miles behind him) and an upwardly rising career.
We find him in Florida on assignment and leading an investigation into a sudden death at the Blue Heron Hotel, on the idyllic Anna Maria Island.
Diane Lewis is a top sales manager for a pharmaceutical company who has died after eating a calorie-loaded hamburger at the hotel’s swimming poool. It was not a cholesterol induced heart attack that killed her, but poisoning of a kind.
After Fortnam interviews the thirteen suspects, the investigation quickly becomes indigestible to him as well.
Interestingly, some witnesses have quite different motives as to why they may have wished the deceased harm.
Unfortunately, identifying their secrets and the guilty party is as tricky as untangling an old set of Christmas lights in a dark attic.
Fortnam attempts to sort it all out and make the connections…

Ten Strands (A Baxter Morgan Mystery)

Here’s the set-up:

A young man must solve the murder he has been accused of, and piece together the clues, all the while a predatory detective, D.I. Baxter Morgan is on his tail…

James Lithgow has been accused of murder, his DNA found all over a crime scene in a previously crime-ridden London.

London’s inhabitants have had to choose between an over-zealous police state or exist in the safety of their own home. Outside, deserted high streets, empty stores and bankrupt retailers remain.

The puzzle: with no criminal record, Lithgow’s DNA has been netted by the Government’s expanded DNA database. His guilt is readily assumed. With seemingly impossible odds he must contest the government’s silver bullet match and prove his innocence.

Lithgow’s only clues are a dog, a diary and his own DNA…
