About This Book
When Olivia Andreas goes to an auction with her friend Jamie Finch, she doesn't expect to bring home a ghost! A professional records organizer who starts every day with a "To Do" list and is always on time for appointments, Olivia is not a believer in the paranormal or even an afterlife. In fact, she never glances at her astrology in the newspaper (even though she's a perfect Virgo). But on a whim, she buys a silver frame and decides to keep intact its photo of a smiling blonde woman whose curious collections were sold that night. Soon afterwards, a series of strange events completely upsets Olivia's orderly world. Various ghostly manifestations of former showgirl Lily Lamoureaux shake up Olivia's personal beliefs. A number of break-ins at Olivia's home, with nothing stolen, defy explanation. Scary as these events are, there's an upside. The investigating detective is an attractive guy named Dave Lowenstein who may almost meet Olivia's carefully listed criteria for a husband. Olivia's orderly life becomes increasingly complicated and perilous as evidence surfaces of Mafia involvement in Lily's death. Seeking revenge, Lily's ghost draws Olivia and Dave ever deeper into danger as their investigations escalate into a fast-moving, spine-chilling adventure that culminates on the 4th of July in an explosive conclusion. Dolores Stewart Riccio is also the author of THE CASS SHIPTON ADVENTURES, a series of suspense novels featuring crime-solving Wiccan women, and SPIRIT, a story of past and present lives.
