Award-winning author Valerie Wilson Wesley launches a thrilling new mystery series set in New Jersey, featuring a multicultural cast, and starring a caterer-turned-realtor with the gift of second sight. . . In the first of a thrilling new series, one woman' s extraordinary psychic gift plunges her already-troubled present into chaos--and puts her future in someone' s deadly sights. . . Until now, Odessa Jones' inherited ability to read emotions and foretell danger has protected her. But second sight didn' t warn her she would soon be a widow--and about to lose her home and the catering business she' s worked so hard to build. The only things keeping Dessa going are her love for baking and her sometimes-mellow cat, Juniper. Unfortunately, putting her life back together means taking a gig at an all-kinds-of-shady real estate firm run by volatile owner Charlie Risko. . . Until Charlie is brutally killed--and Dessa' s bullied co-worker is arrested for murder. Dessa can' t be sure who' s guilty. But it doesn' t take a psychic to discover that everyone from Charlie' s much-abused staff to his long-suffering younger wife had multiple reasons to want him dead. And as Dessa follows a trail of lies through blackmail, dead-end clues, and corruption, she needs to see the truth fast--or a killer will bury her deep down with it.
