The Ghost in the Audience — Sue Fineman

Police Detective Ginny Kane asks psychic entertainer Steffen Marchand, on tour in River Valley, to help her find a missing friend. She's excited by him, yet frustrated with the way he can plant thoughts in her mind. She doesn't need a man in her life anyway.

When someone shoots Steffen in the shoulder, Ginny can't leave him alone to fend for himself, and he can't drive home to Chicago until he heals and she finds the shooter. She takes him home with her to recuperate. After the shooting, his psychic abilities are gone, and he can't pull up a vision of the shooter's face. Psychic or not, Steffen finds himself falling hard for Ginny.

She doesn't want to love him; she knows he's not the kind of man who stays.
