From Library Journal

Female psychics from two eras connect in a way that leads to prevention of a present crime and solution of a past one. Anthropologist Annie Darrow searches for Paleo-Indian remains near a Colorado ghost town. Unashamedly using her psychic powers for direction, she unearths what is apparently a Native American skeleton, as well as messages left for her by a psychic who lived in the town in 1881, when a serial murderer killed several prostitutes. The dead psychic warns Annie that someone will attempt to kill her, too. Nifty premise, atmospheric detailing, and uncanny characterization; recommended.##+|0380808900Bates, Karen Grigsby.

Another fun book by Carol Cail. Two women, separated by only a hundred years, work together in ways neither understand to help the other. A fascinating concept involving a bustling gold town and a vacant ghost town with so much in common. You won't be sorry for reading this tale.
