This is no dream . . .
Nikki DuMonde's newest employee and friend, Andy, is standing at the end of her bed at four o'clock in the morning begging for help. It's a joke, right? Besides, as manager of a successful New Orleans haunted-tour company, Nikki doesn't scare easily.
But in the cold light of day, the harshness of reality sets in as a police officer informs her that Andy was brutally murdered at the exact time Nikki swears the distraught woman was pleading in her room.
No one believes her except Brent Blackhawk, a paranormal investigator desperately trying to forget his tragic past. Half Irish, half Native American - and able to communicate with the dead - Brent is used to living in two worlds. But when he realises the ghost of a slain government agent is also trying to reach out to Nikki, he knows that she, too, must listen to the dead . . . if she wants to keep living.
