Preview Waking the Dead - Cafferty & Quinn 02
They say a painting can have a life of its own… In the case of Ghosts in the
Mind by Henry Sebastian Hubert, that’s more than just an expression. This painting is
reputed to come to life—and to bring death. The artist was a friend of Lord Byron and
Mary Shelley, joining them in Switzerland during 1816, “the year without a summer.” That
was when they all explored themes of horror and depravity in their art.… Now, almost two
hundred years later, the painting appears in New Orleans. Wherever it goes, death seems
to follow. Danielle Cafferty and Michael Quinn, occasional partners in solving crime,
are quickly drawn into the case. They begin to make connections between that summer in
Switzerland and this spring in Louisiana. Danni, the owner of an eccentric antiques
shop, and Quinn, a private detective, have discovered that they have separate but
complementary talents when it comes to investigating unusual situations. Trying to blend
their personal relationship with the professional lives they’ve stumbled into, they
learn how much they need each other. Especially as they confront this work of art—and
evil. The people in the portrait might be dead, but something seems to wake them and
free them to commit bloody crimes. Cafferty and Quinn must discover what that is. And
they have to destroy it—before it destroys them.
