Beschreibung

Oslo Dali is a freelance videographer who never lands the interesting jobs. But when he gets a gig covering a lecture by a beloved spiritual leader, the unthinkable happens: a woman in the crowd shoots the guru dead mid-sentence. And then, inexplicably, the woman tries to shoot Dali himself.The killer is declared criminally insane and the case is closed. But when Dali reviews his footage from that night, he discovers there’s far more to this story than anyone realizes..Desperate for help, Oslo calls up an old acquaintance: Serafina Grant, a paranoid pill popper living on the fringes of society. The two misfits quickly find themselves chasing the scoop of a lifetime: The key to a forty-year-old unsolved murder, a world champion poker player with a nasty secret living in his barn, and a blind assassin who identifies her targets by smell. An assassin who–for reasons Oslo can’t begin to understand–is stubbornly intent on seeing him dead.

The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-three novelettes about a young girl`s growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. Her mother is frightened of her daughter`s latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her; and she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good, but it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is. 
These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal and is between the ages of ten and a hundred years old. 
It is exam time for Megan, our psychic teenager, and she is very nervous, because she has never sat a real exam before. Both Grrr, her ghost tiger, and her father try to calm her, but she is making herself ill with worry. 
How ever will she get over this? 
Eventually, her father tells her a story about a family trait, and Megan relaxes enough to sit her exams.
