The Missing Slipper — Sandra Nikolai

Amber McNeil has a psychic gift, and a secret...

When Amber McNeil accepts a job as psychic consultant in the new cold case unit of the Montreal Police Service, she is immediately drawn to the Cinderella case. The unnerving similarities between a five-year-old girl's abduction and her own experience twenty years ago unnerves her.

Amber's parents were killed while preventing her abduction, and she'll never stop blaming herself for their deaths. As she secretly investigates their murders along with the Cinderella cold case, she notices eerie parallels with a fairy-tale inference. Is it her imagination, or are the cases connected?

Survivor's guilt, coupled with empathic sensitivities, overwhelm Amber as she delves further into both cold cases. The amethyst crystal tucked in her pocket calms her, though she wishes she didn't have to rely on it.

But her greatest challenge yet is her partner. The handsome detective sergeant has no idea of her traumatic past. As a criminal profiler, he also views Amber's special ability as a non-starter when it comes to digging up solid evidence.

Ultimately, Amber must decide if she will risk her life to snag the killer and prove her value. To accomplish that, she needs her partner's help. How can she persuade him to believe her insights when only she can perceive them?
