Hell in a Handbasket

by Denise Grover Swank

First published 2018

Rose Gardner cannot escape the weight of failure. A woman died because Rose's visions came too late. Her sister faces a terminal illness that no amount of psychic ability can cure. James Malcolm waits for an answer about their potential relationship, but Rose lacks the courage to refuse him outright. When a fresh case lands on her desk, Rose jumps at the chance to focus on other people's troubles. The investigation centers in Henryetta, where every person connects to every problem in ways Rose never expected. The case forces her back into contact with James and drags up pieces of her past she would rather forget. Rose and her partner Neely Kate take in an unexpected houseguest who needs their help. Assisting this stranger means deeper involvement with criminal elements, exactly what Rose knows she should avoid. She and Neely Kate mean well, but good intentions might lead them down a road with no way back.
