  Murder by Tradition

  Young Teddie Crawford is dead from multiple stab wounds in a restaurant kitchen awash with blood. LAPD homicide detective Kate Delafield is relentless in her pursuit and capture of his killer. But bringing that killer to trial imperils Kate's professional standing and personal privacy—and her belief in the justice system to which she has devoted her life. 
   
   
   
  The suspect claims self-defense—that Teddie Crawford made a homosexual advance and backed it up with a knife. Yet everything Kate learns about Teddie Crawford tells her that his murder was deliberate. And to develop proof of first degree murder, she must find clear answers to mystifying questions for the prosecuting attorney—a woman who has never before prosecuted a homicide case. 
   
   
   
  Kate is increasingly isolated as she tries to shield her young lover from the brutal realities of this case and finds few allies among her LAPD brethren. Even her partner, Ed Taylor, is loathe to aggressively pursue a case involving a dead gay man and his gay associates. As the trial date looms, she discovers she has a personal stake: the defense attorney is a man from her past. A man with the power to expose the private life she has kept rigidly separate from her life as a police officer.

  For as psychic as I am, things go sideways far too often. 
  Hallelujah, I now have everything I ever wanted—my memories and the soul mate I didn't even realize I was missing. There’s just one problem... the old gods expect me to make amends for my absence. Fan-freakin-tasic. 
  But time lost as the Oracle isn’t the only thing I must atone for. My friend Demetri was stripped of his powers—and it was all my fault. Now, Demetri wants nothing to do with me. 
  To make matters worse, people are flocking to Inner Sanctum in hordes, wanting a reading with the 'world's most powerful psychic.' Lucky me. 
  However, one case, in particular, hits my radar and despite myself, I can’t shake it. A 14-year-old boy is wrapped up with a deadly governmental agency and he’s scared to death. And he should be—they want to weaponize his power. 
  Torn between what was and what is, I'm struggling to fully embrace who I'm becoming. 
  Will I be able to help Demetri and make things right? Or will my new role as Oracle mean leaving the past behind?

  Second, and most pressing, a young man has just appeared on his doorstep with a briefcase . . . containing a pair of severed hands. Miller knows this case is proof of a contract killing commissioned by local ne'er do well Wayne Cutler—a man he suspects might also be responsible for his wife's death. Now Miller has leverage, but unfortunately, he also has something that both Cutler and a villainous fast-food kingpin are desperate to get hold of. 
   
   
   
  Sprinkle in a Midsomer Murders-obsessed hitman, a psychotic welder, and a woman driven over the edge by a wayward Crème Egg, and Miller is in a mess that even he might not be able to dance his way out of.
