As mayor of Duck, North Carolina, Dae O'Donnell must meet
the needs of her community. Those needs are getting harder
as the the next election approaches. For the first time,
Dae has an opponent who is determined to do whatever it
takes to win the campaign, including smearing the current
mayor.
Dae's talent for finding lost items has been developing to
the point that sometimes when she touches an item, she gets
submerged in the past. Dae is asked by a local man to help
locate
an item he found and lost again. He's been offered a
reward. When Dae's touches his hand, she is not only able
to discover where the item is but who it really belongs to.
It isn't the person offering the reward. In fact, the real
owner's ghost shows Dae his murder and asks her to find his
daughter.
With Kevin by her side, Dae can take the challenge.
However, when Kevin's ex-fiancée appears, Dae's emotions are
torn. Ann has forgotten the years she spent recovering
mentally and the ending of their engagement. Kevin doesn't
want to hurt Ann but he keeps popping up when Dae needs him
most.
The search for a missing girl will bring Dae into contact
with international criminals and a danger that she could not
imagine. With regret, Dae learns that her father is
involved in this mess to such an extent that his seeming
desire to turn a new leaf is exposed as a lie.
Each of these books gets increasingly complicated in plot
and emotion as the series progresses. Just as Dae's gift is
changing and expanding, so does the emotional content of the
books. Master storytellers, the Lavenes have created a
series that will challenge readers.
The mayor of Duck, North Carolina, Dae O’Donnell, is a woman
with a gift for finding lost things. Sometimes it leads her
to lost keys or earrings—and sometimes it leads her to
murder…
When her boyfriend Kevin’s ex-fiancée Ann arrives in Duck
looking for a second chance, Dae suddenly finds herself
facing certain heartache. And while her romantic life is in
shambles, she’s even more concerned by the sudden change in
her gift. After touching a medallion owned by a local named
Chuck Sparks, Dae is shocked when her vision reveals his
murder—and a cry for help.
Dae doesn’t know what to make of the dead man’s plea to
“Help her,” until she has another vision about a kidnapped
girl—Chuck’s daughter, Betsy. With a child missing, the FBI
steps in to take over the case. But Dae can’t ignore her
visions of Betsy, or the fact that Kevin’s psychic
ex-fiancée might be the only person who can help find her…
