When a Dog-Snatching Scheme Leads to Murder, Carrie Must Sniff Out the Truth

Carol Sojka

Summary

Murder and small-town corruption mingle in the most sinister of ways in Carole Sojka's "Psychic Damage."

Computer analyst Eva Stuart, employed by a small city in Southern California, is shocked when she hears someone ask, "Where's the body?" and a moment later overhears that evidence is being "cleaned up." She knows then that the topic of conversation is murder, and she recognizes one of the voices as that of a city official.

Eva knows she heard the conversation right when she learns of a death on the news. She confides in a psychic who warns of danger but also tells of a lover who will come to her aid. When the psychic is found dead and Eva is threatened, she knows she must uncover the corruption that leads directly to the top level of city government.
