David Randall's family life collapsed when his little daughter Lindsey died in a car crash. Thrown out by his second wife and wanting to start his own detective agency, he reluctantly accepts his psychic friend Camden's invitation to stay in Camden's boarding house in Parkland, NC. Meanwhile, investigating the murder of Albert Bennett, Randall's only clue is a notebook filled with odd musical notation. When another client, Melanie Gentry, hires him to prove her great-grandmother was murdered by composer John Burrows Ashford, Randall suspects a connection to Bennett's murder, as well as to that of a Smithsonian director who was preparing a new PBS documentary on early American music. Then Ashford's spirit parks itself in Cam...and refuses to leave until Randall proves Ashford's innocence. Jane Tesh is the author of A Case of Imagination, A Hard Bargain, and A Little Learning. Stolen Hearts is the first in a new series. www.janetesh.com
