The Obituary Collector

<p><strong><em>Malice and brilliance make a deadly combination.</em></strong></p><p><br></p><p>Dignified silver-haired Parsifal Snowe is an enigma even to his closest associates. He has an air of omniscience tempered by a courteous self-effacing demeanor. How did such a man end up the leader of a motley crew of psychic detectives?</p><p><br></p><p><em>The Obituary Collector</em> takes us back to 2006 and the founding of Snowe Agency. Mr. Snowe is asked for help in a series of deaths in a psychiatric hospital where each is preceded by a note containing clues in the form of literary quotes. Very quickly he sees that the killings are the work of a highly intelligent-but profoundly disturbed-mind. Is it one of the psychiatric patients? One would think so but the hospital's staff all seem to have secrets and skeletons of their own as well. When a fourth note is found Mr. Snowe realizes the murders aren't over yet... and he has no hope of solving the case alone.</p><p><br></p><p>Racing against time he enlists the aide of a trio of local psychics-Bethany Hale Callista Lee and Troy Seligman-and the adminsitrative skills of the ultra-competent but eccentric Arabella Leidenfrost. Each is a talent in and of themselves but together their complimentary abilities make them a formidable team. But will it be enough to stop a killer determined to destroy the patients and staff of Riverside Psychiatric Hospital?</p>
