Dae's talent for finding lost items has been developing to the point that sometimes when she touches an item, she gets submerged in the past. Dae is asked by a local man to help locate an item he found and lost again. He's been offered a reward. When Dae's touches his hand, she is not only able to discover where the item is but who it really belongs to. It isn't the person offering the reward. In fact, the real owner's ghost shows Dae his murder and asks her to find his daughter.
With Kevin by her side, Dae can take the challenge. However, when Kevin's ex-fiancée appears, Dae's emotions are torn. Ann has forgotten the years she spent recovering mentally and the ending of their engagement. Kevin doesn't want to hurt Ann but he keeps popping up when Dae needs him most.
The search for a missing girl will bring Dae into contact with international criminals and a danger that she could not imagine. With regret, Dae learns that her father is involved in this mess to such an extent that his seeming desire to turn a new leaf is exposed as a lie.
Each of these books gets increasingly complicated in plot and emotion as the series progresses. Just as Dae's gift is changing and expanding, so does the emotional content of the books. Master storytellers, the Lavenes have created a series that will challenge readers.
Book Summary
The mayor of Duck, North Carolina, Dae O’Donnell, is a woman with a gift for finding lost things. Sometimes it leads her to lost keys or earrings—and sometimes it leads her to murder…
When her boyfriend Kevin’s ex-fiancée Ann arrives in Duck looking for a second chance, Dae suddenly finds herself facing certain heartache. And while her romantic life is in shambles, she’s even more concerned by the sudden change in her gift. After touching a medallion owned by a local named Chuck Sparks, Dae is shocked when her vision reveals his murder—and a cry for help.
Dae doesn’t know what to make of the dead man’s plea to “Help her,” until she has another vision about a kidnapped girl—Chuck’s daughter, Betsy. With a child missing, the FBI steps in to take over the case. But Dae can’t ignore her visions of Betsy, or the fact that Kevin’s psychic ex-fiancée might be the only person who can help find her…
