Dae's Christmas Past
By Joyce and Jim Lavene
Featuring Pet Psychic Mary Catherine Roberts!
When wild horse rescue director Tom Watts is found dead on
Duck Road, psychic mayor Dae O’Donnell is determined to find out who killed
him. Her friend, Jake Burleson, is accused of killing Tom even though the two
men have been good friends for years.
Dae doesn’t believe Jake killed Tom even though he has been
acting strangely. He shoved one of the ancient stone horses found on his
property into Dae’s hands when he knew she was afraid what she would see if she
touched it. He’s obsessed with stopping the excavation—maybe to the point of
killing Tom.
The problem is the excavation
of the horse cult that’s been happening on Jake’s property. Tom, and several
archaeologists working on the project, argued that Jake should give up his land
to widen the search for artifacts. Jake won’t do that.
But Dae thinks there may be more to the story. Jake’s
determination to get the horse statue into her hands has shown her what the
horse cult was used for a thousand years ago and the destruction the demon
horses brought before they were stopped. She’s afraid something of the past may
have already returned to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and there may be
more deaths to come.
Christmas is coming, but how much of Duck will be left to
enjoy it?
Book Six in the Missing Pieces Mysteries set in the Outer
Banks of North Carolina with Mayor Dae O’Donnell of Duck. Dae has a psychic
gift for finding lost things and people that has been passed down to her from
her grandmother. She runs the Missing Pieces Thrift Store to have a place to
keep some of the things she finds, and to give back things that are missing to
their rightful owners.

Praise for the Missing Pieces Mysteries
A Timely Vision

vividly realized small-town setting. The combination of small-town ambience, a
psychic main character, and plenty of antiques should give the authors plenty
to work with in subsequent adventures.” ~ Judy Coon for Booklist
