Emily Hayes used to be a tenured psychology professor with a corner office and a thriving marriage. Now she’s divorced, unemployed, and living in a shoebox apartment that smells faintly of despair.

That woman—Juniper Quimby—owns exactly one leather jacket, lives out of a van painted with moon phases, and has “commitment issues” tattooed across her entire personality. Together, they’ve decided to reinvent themselves as paranormal investigators (because ...

THE SÉANCE SITUATION A Between Agency Mystery Two murders. Forty-seven years apart. One deadly secret that refuses to stay buried. When paranormal investigators Emily Hayes and Juni Quimby arrive at the historic Bramblewick Inn to investigate a decades-old cold case, they expect the usual: creaky floors, mysterious shadows, and maybe a genuine ghost sighting for their podcast. What they don't expect is a fresh corpse. Hours after a séance meant to contact spirits from the past, one of the residents takes an unexpected dive from a third-floor balcony. The police call it an accident. Emily ...

The Rutherford Playhouse has a ghost problem. Also a murder problem. Those might be related. Dr. Emily Hayes and her possibly-psychic partner Juniper Quimby came to investigate some spooky photographs and sightings of what might be an honest-to-goodness poltergeist. They did not come to watch the leading man get flattened by a sandbag during the soda fountain scene of Our Town. And yet. Now they're untangling two strikingly similar deaths separated by ninety years, a director with blackmail-worthy secrets, a vandal with a grudge, and a ghost who's been trying to get someone's attention ...

In Kettle Cove, Texas, the art is lovely. The murder weapon is a fifty-pound bronze tortoise. Nobody said the art world was subtle. When an art dealer turns up dead in a sculptor's studio — killed with her own bronze casting, leaving her as the obvious suspect — investigator Sable Wilder takes the case. She has a photographic memory, a low tolerance for sloppy framing, and a strong suspicion that a crime this obvious was designed to look that way. The deeper she digs into Kettle Cove's sun-bleached artist colony, the more she finds underneath: a gallery full of secrets, a fraud running ...

She can't remember who she is. But she knows a killer when she sees one. Los Angeles, 1985.
