Excerpt

Uneasy and apprehensive, Celine calls Julia Hood, a guest renting a cottage on the Mechelen Estate Winery, to wait with her while 911 responders arrive. Much to her surprise, Celine learns that Julia is a retired FBI agent — a woman who’s long been on the track of the stolen Gardner art:

Julia rubbed her hands together. “Any other impressions of the scene of the crime?” she asked.

Celine stared. This wasn’t her first crime scene, but no law enforcement official, retired or otherwise, had ever expressed any curiosity about her opinions of a crime.

Julia stared back. “You do get impressions, don’t you? Keith Elliot —”

“Detective Keith Elliot?” Celine asked. “Of the Durham Police Department?”

He’d helped solve the murders of her college friends, Sonia and Nicole. That had been many years ago, but Celine would never forget the man who’d recognized her psychic visions for what they were.

There’d been the Montague Museum case a few years after that. But despite her visions and Elliot’s efforts, it had gone nowhere. At the time, he’d mentioned having an FBI contact. Julia? If he’d provided a name, she couldn’t remember it.

“Lieutenant Elliot,” Julia said. “But yeah same guy. Retired now.”

“He sent you here?” Detective Elliot had been gifted with second sight as well, although his visions weren’t as strong as Celine’s.

“Thought you might be in trouble. He wanted me to make contact with you, keep an eye on you. I didn’t say anything earlier because . . . Well, I didn’t want to spook you. And quite frankly, I was skeptical.”

She looked back at the bar with a sigh. “Not anymore, though.”

An impression filled Celine’s mind, and she decided to confirm it. “That’s not the only reason you’re here, is it, Julia?”

Julia looked at her, then slowly shook her head. “No, it’s not. Keith thought I might find answers to a case I’ve devoted most of my career to. A nearly thirty-year-old case that’s yet to be solved. The Gardner Museum heist.”

That again! Celine let out the breath she hadn’t even been aware she’d been holding.

The Gardner Museum theft had come into play in the unsolved case in Durham as well. The killer had gotten away then. She hadn’t thought about it until earlier this evening when . . .

“Greg brought that up as well. The Gardner Museum heist. But what does that have to do with Dirck and our art?

When death arrives in Paso Robles, so do clues to an infamous art heist in Boston.

For seven years, psychic Celine Skye has led a life free of visions in quiet Paso Robles. But now the visions are back. Along with a dubious customer from Boston.

Celine has always been able to sense death. But not even she can foresee her employer Dirck’s murder. Finding his corpse in the wine bar he owns is bad enough.

Grappling with the suspicion that Dirck’s death could be connected with the Gardner Museum heist is even worse.

As Celine struggles to make sense of the psychic clues she receives, there’s just one question in her mind: What exactly did Dirck know about the Gardner Museum heist to get himself killed?
