Publisher Description
Zoë Martinique was just your average, single female, past 25, looking for love and/or exciting job opportunities. Then life handed her the dubious ability to travel outside of her body at will—which she turned into a career, hiring herself out as a literal spook.
But one night things get out of hand while she is out-of-body: Zoë witnesses a murder. What’s worse, the killer is also a traveler—who not only sees her but tries to pursue her.
To save herself, Zoë must somehow guide the very handsome detective assigned to the case to the truth without revealing herself. And with the help of her semi-psychic mom, a pair of gay ghosts, and her best friend (a Goth techno witch), she also has to figure out exactly who—and what—the murderer is, before he finds her and puts an end to her traveling—permanently.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Part paranormal whodunit, part urban fantasy, Weldon's lively debut introduces Zo Martinique, a professional snoop based in Atlanta, Ga., with the ability to project herself out of body and spy on illicit activities. Things get complicated after Zo becomes an astral witness to murder, and the killer, who can not only see her but also touch her, leaves her branded with a red hand print and a shock of white hair that just keeps getting thicker. Zo teams up with sexy cop Daniel Frasier, who thinks infamous televangelist Theodore Rollins is somehow behind the murder, but Zo 's also pretty sure that the dead man's boss, Koba Hirokumi, president of Visitar Inc., knows a lot more than he's telling. Before long, what began as an apparent case of industrial espionage turns into a battle against evil from another dimension. Weldon keeps Zo and her readers off balance with brisk pacing and brain-wrenching plot twists, drawing the story to a satisfying close while leaving enough loose ends to set up Zo 's next adventure.
