"Baxley Powell's pet-sitting and landscaping businesses take a back seat to her success as a police consultant, where her dreamwalking talent for talking to the dead helps solve murders. Baxley is riding with the sheriff when the 911 call comes in - a stabbing in a swanky neighborhood. She's stunned to see a knife in the victim's chest at the crime scene. With his last breath, the bank president whispers, "Bubba done it." Unfortunately, Sinclair County, Georgia, is chock full of Bubbas, four of them with close ties to the victim. When the dead banker is forbidden to talk to Baxley in her dreamwalks, she is forced to sleuth among the living. The top suspects are a down-on-his-luck fisherman, a crackhead evangelist, a politically-connected investor, and, worst of all, her brother-in-law, the high school sweetheart of the dead man's ex-wife. The more Baxley digs, the more ties the suspects have to the victim. Even her brother-in-law raises her suspicions when he's keeping company with the victim's ex. If Baxley can't pin the murder on the real killer, her brother-in-law could go to prison"--Publisher.
