Requests from the Dead

She didnt choose to become a detective. Murder victims chose her.

Winnie Porter grew up solving crimes. At the age of seven, she witnessed a kidnapping and put her first criminal behind bars. At twelve, she tripped a bank robber, allowing the police to arrest him. On her fifteenth birthday, she prevented a suicide, and at nineteen, she exposed a serial killer.

Of course, Winnie didnt accomplish these feats alone. She had help in the form of…well, thats where things get complicated.

Every so often, Winnie receives a message from a murder victim. She doesnt hear voices or see ghostly images. The messages come to her as newspaper articles, handwritten letters, or evidence. She deciphers the clues and devises a clever plan to close the case.

But when a note arrives from her favorite cousin moments after his death, her skills are put to the test. With the clock ticking, she must hide his body from the sheriff, destroy planted evidence, rescue his wife and daughter, and stop a ruthless killer – all without revealing her secret or ending up the next murder victim.
