The Eight of Pentacles

...in Oakland, CA’s Lake Merritt. When Daniel Burnette, the homocide investigator assigned to the case, rules her death accidental, she realizes it will be up to her to prove what her senses already know — that Laura Neff was murdered and that the policeman has his own reasons for wanting the case closed.

Drawing assistance from
the Tarot and private investigator, Atticus Spencer, Eileen uncovers a handful of suspects who have reason to want Laura dead including her ex-boyfriend, an Oaktown rap promoter.

As she hones in on the killer’s identity and places her own life in jeopardy, Eileen is forced to confront her doubts about her intuitive abilities, her feelings for Atticus, and the deadly message hidden in the cards.

Eloise Hill delivers the beginning of sparkling new mystery series as psychic detective, Eileen McGrath, pursues a phantom-like killer the police refuse to believe exists. With the often ignored beauty of Oakland, CA serving as a backdrop, The Eight of Pentacles is a page-turner of marvelous ingenuity where the Tarot and intuitive insight prove far more valuable than fact-based police work for exploring the murky relationships surrounding McGrath’s dead client...a twisty yarn that will keep you up long past your bedtime.”
