Synopsis

A nice, normal life. Is that too much to ask? For Riley Thorn it is. Divorced. Broke. Living with a pack of elderly roommates. And those hallucinations she's diligently ignoring? Her tarot card-dealing mom is convinced they're clairvoyant visions.

Just when things can't get worse, a so-hot-it-should-be-illegal private investigator shows up on her doorstep looking for one of her neighbors, who turns up murdered. Nick Santiago doesn't play well with others, but when the pretty, possibly psychic Riley lands at the top of the list of suspects, he volunteers to find out whodunit.

All they have to do is figure out who pulled the trigger, keep a by-the-book detective with a grudge at bay, and deal with a stranger claiming he was sent to help Riley hone her psychic gifts — all before the killer discovers she's a loose end that requires snipping.
