The Sapphire Necklace - Paperback

by C. A. Varian (Author)

Still fresh to the community of public defenders, Miss Hazel Watson finds herself entangled in a case of embezzlement - with a liberal dash of the supernatural. Who was this spirit haunting her client? Why is the spirit's glimmering sapphire necklace so entrancing? And, most importantly, why could Hazel not communicate with her?

Since she was a young girl, Hazel had been helping spirits conclude their earthly business so they could pass over. Her ability to communicate with spirits was passed down from her mother who was able to help guide her and hone her necromancy skills. Hazel was never a social butterfly, but she never had a problem interacting with the dead. Until now.

There are enough challenges being a young, female, public attorney. Still, this new case presents challenges that Hazel could never have anticipated. She had never before met a spirit she couldn't speak with. She couldn't even determine who this woman had been. What was this spirit's relationship with her client, Mr. Miller? How could this spirit help, or hurt, her client's case?

As Mr. Miller's trial date inches closer, with more questions than answers, Hazel is rushing against the clock to identify the dead woman, find her killer, and avoid becoming the killer's next victim herself.
