Enjoy three thrilling mysteries by author Sandra Nikolai!

The Missing Slipper, book 1

Amber McNeil has a psychic gift, and a secret...

When Amber McNeil accepts a job as psychic consultant in the new cold case unit of the Montreal Police Service, she is immediately drawn to the Cinderella case. The similarities between a five-year-old girl's abduction and her own experience twenty years ago unnerves her.

Amber's parents were killed while preventing her abduction, and she'll never stop blaming herself for their deaths. As she secretly investigates their murders along with the Cinderella case, she notices eerie parallels with a fairy-tale inference. Is it her imagination, or are the cases connected?

Survivor's guilt, coupled with empathic sensitivities, overwhelm Amber as she delves further into both cold cases. The amethyst crystal tucked in her pocket calms her, though she wishes she didn't have to rely on it.

Her partner, the handsome detective sergeant, has no idea of her traumatic past. As a criminal profiler, he also views Amber's special ability as a non-starter when it comes to digging up solid evidence.

Ultimately, Amber must decide if she will risk her life to snag the killer and prove her value. She needs her partner's help, but how can she persuade him to trust her insights when only she can perceive them?

The Red Hoodie, book 2

When psychic Amber McNeil receives a plea for help from a deceased little girl, she has no choice but to act...

As psychic consultant to the Montreal Police Service, Amber perceives a flash of red from one file among hundreds stored in the cold case unit. It's a sign that the victim in a decades-old case needs her help: eight-year-old Marie Troy.

The little girl dropped off a jar of soup at her grandmother's, then walked to school but she never got there. The red hoodie she wore that day was her favorite, but it—along with Marie—were never found.

Amber can't help but compare the details of Marie's case to Little Red Riding Hood. Are investigators searching for yet another child abductor obsessed with fairy tales?

Silent Night, book 3

A cold case lures psychic consultant Amber McNeil to investigate a life taken too soon...

Amber McNeil, psychic consultant to the Montreal Police Service cold case unit, faces her most challenging case yet. In 1983, eighteen-year-old Susan Kendall's frozen body was discovered in an alley under a foot of snow during a Christmas Eve blizzard.

Susan had quit her waitress job at the local diner hours earlier and was about to start a new life, only to be brutally murdered. Her cries for help went unheard in the small, secretive town of Willowburg, a dying municipality in the west end of Montreal.

The original investigation was rushed, and information in the investigative file is sparse.

As Amber and her partner, Detective Ryan Baxter, navigate a secret romance, doubting coworkers, and the scant evidence on hand, can Amber rely on her psychic perceptions to lead her to the killer and solve this cold case?
