Publisher Marketing: "A phenomenal read."-Sharon Sala, "New York Times" and "USA Today" bestselling author Is it a flesh and blood killer-or restless spirits? According to Sophie the psychic, beautiful Edisto Beach becomes a hotbed of troublemaking spirits every August. But when a visitor dies mysteriously during a beach house party, former big-city detective Callie Morgan and Edisto Beach police chief Mike Seabrook hunt for motives and suspects among the living. With tourists filling the beaches and local business owners anxious to squelch rumors of a murderer on the loose, Callie will need all the help she can get-especially once the killer's attention turns toward her. "Edisto Jinx" is a phenomenal read from beginning to end. The psychological twists are as intriguing as the vivid imagery of Ms. Clark's writing. From characters with just the right amount of flaws to make them realistic, to the eerie peek into a madman's mind, it is a gem of a story I didn't want to end.-Sharon Sala, author of "Cold Hearts," book two of the "Secrets and Lies" trilogy.
