Ariel Quigley is a young English instructor who talks to ghosts and has precognitive dreams that help her to solve mysteries. In the first book she finds herself embroiled in an abortive bombing, a suspicious death, a car accident that is no accident, and a hurricane. (Is nature a terrorist agent?) She does Tarot readings for fun, but learns a lot about the people around her from the cards. And in the course of unraveling the clues she also learns the truth about the death of a slave who died before the Civil War—from the ghost herself. The story takes place in Alexandria, Virginia. |

Psychic sleuth Ariel Quigley is
back, and this time she’s dealing with the death of a prominent
lawyer, an investment scheme that may be a scam, and the
machinations of a black magician. Add to this a budding romance
with a hunky cop, a cast of kooky new friends who write naughty
limericks, a killer Halloween party, and a ghost that just won’t
leave her alone. Then Ariel’s life is threatened…by a force from
the Spanish Inquisition!

What do Wiccan exotic dancers, bomb threats, burning buildings, a Gullah conjure woman, ghosts, shape-shifters, and pirates have in common? They're all a part of psychic detective Ariel Quigley's efforts in The Reporter Who Died Probing to have a quiet winter holiday with her police sergeant boyfriend, Greg Mason, until she finds herself involved in the murders of some Washington, D.C. news reporters. Ariel's winter semester break starts peacefully enough, with her looking forward to a variety of seasonal celebrations, including St. Nicholas Day, Solstice, Chanukah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, New Year's, and Twelfth Night. In addition, she's hoping for a romantic interlude with Greg, who seems intent on making their relationship more permanent. But as the seasonal activities increase in number and intensity, so do the threats to Ariel's reputation and livelihood, culminating with her involvement in the deaths of two media personalities. And after an other-worldly warning from her spirit guide known as the Fat Man, Ariel realizes she herself may be a target for murder. When Greg winds up in the hospital for a brief stay after being evacuated from a burning building and when Ariel narrowly misses a threat to her own life, the couple hope for a respite from the holiday mayhem by going on vacation to Edisto Island, South Carolina for a New Year's break. But their longed-for peaceful beach vacation involves them with pirates, more ghosts, and a Gullah practitioner of magic, and it culminates with a sinister threat on the high seas.
