Raintree--Haunted

April 15, 2007
A member of a powerful clan and gifted with the ability to control electrical energy, homicide detective Gideon Raintree can also see and talk with ghosts, a hidden talent that helps when solving murders thanks to his postdeath discussions with the victims. Skilled, focused, and all business, Gideon certainly doesn't need a partner, especially one as sexy, smart, and curious as Hope Malory. Yet when Hope joins Gideon in his search for a killer who is targeting his prophetically endowed sister, it's only a matter of time before their professional relationship becomes a lot more personal. Well-described secondary characters and appealing protagonists enliven this high-voltage romantic thriller that neatly fills the center slot in the "Raintree Trilogy" (between Linda Howard's "Raintree: Inferno" and Beverly Barton's "Raintree: Sanctuary") yet delivers its own compelling story. Jones ("Prince of Magic") lives in Huntsville, AL.
