Sheer Dynamite

October 15, 2006
It's just another Silicon Valley rush hour for building contractor Jack Davis until he rear-ends a car that stops dead in the middle of the freeway. When the gorgeous blond informs him that she stopped because she had a vision that a man jumped from the overpass, it is the beginning of the end of Jack's bachelorhood. He finds that Opal Smith takes a bit of getting used to, but his tendency to save helpless females keeps him around. Opal is from a family of psychics, all with their own specialty except for her. Her fondest wish is to discover her psychic power, and knowing that no one in her family will believe her, she enlists Jack as an independent verifier as each night she trolls the overpass waiting for someone to jump. This is just the start of the adventures in Skully's mostly lighthearted, breezy tale filled with kooky characters and sudden bursts of sensuality.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
