Ashes of Aries — Martha C. Lawrence

ARIES: A FIRE SIGN...WITH BURNING DESIRE

The hot Santa Ana wind is blowing out of the high desert when Matthew Fielding, four-year-old son of a telecommunications mogul, is abducted from his family's estate. After five days, the police are at a dead end. They discreetly call on Elizabeth Chase, private eye, to use her paranormal skills. She "sees" a dog and a path by a K-Mart--perhaps clues to Matthew's whereabouts. But she also smells burning, and soon an arson fire driven by the relentless Santa Ana threatens acres of San Diego County, the Fielding house, and Elizabeth's own family. The heat is oppressive. The danger palpable. And now, as a shaman friend shows Elizabeth how to harness the natural forces around her, she realizes all too quickly that along with wind and fire comes murder...

HER SIGN IS MURDER...
Inspired by her own psychic experiences, author Martha C. Lawrence created this Edgar-nominated series starring Elizabeth Chase, a PI who uses second sight to spot a killer...and a 9-millimeter Glock to stay alive.
