The Obituary Collector

Malice and brilliance make a deadly combination.

Dignified, silver-haired Parsifal Snowe is an enigma even to his closest associates. He has an air of omniscience, tempered by a courteous, self-effacing demeanor. How did such a man end up the leader of a motley crew of psychic detectives?




The Obituary Collector takes us back to 2006 and the founding of Snowe Agency. Mr. Snowe is asked for help in a series of deaths in a psychiatric hospital, where each is preceded by a note containing clues in the form of literary quotes. Very quickly he sees that the killings are the work of a highly intelligent-but profoundly disturbed-mind. Is it one of the psychiatric patients? One would think so, but the hospital's staff all seem to have secrets and skeletons of their own, as well. When a fourth note is found, Mr. Snowe realizes the murders aren't over yet... and he has no hope of solving the case alone.




Racing against time, he enlists the aide of a trio of local psychics-Bethany Hale, Callista Lee, and Troy Seligman-and the adminsitrative skills of the ultra-competent but eccentric Arabella Leidenfrost. Each is a talent in and of themselves, but together their complimentary abilities make them a formidable team. But will it be enough to stop a killer determined to destroy the patients and staff of Riverside Psychiatric Hospital?
