Scandals, Secrets, and Murder

by Maggie Sefton

First published 2014

Amanda Duncan tries to suppress the clairvoyant visions that flash before her eyes. The wealthy Washington widow couldn't save her own family, but perhaps these unwanted glimpses can help others. Her latest vision troubles her most: a man stabbed to death by a shadowy figure, a young girl screaming. When corrupt Senator Horace Chester turns up murdered in a Murder Bay brothel, Amanda recognizes the scene from her vision. English investor Devlin Burke arrives in Washington to rescue his nephew Freddie from bankruptcy caused by Chester's schemes. After Freddie publicly attacked the senator days before the murder, he becomes the prime suspect. Amanda and Devlin team up to find the real killer. Their investigation takes them from elite Capitol salons into the dangerous streets of Washington's red light district. As Amanda's psychic abilities and Devlin's detective skills bring them closer to the truth, the murderer grows more desperate and dangerous.
