Synopsis
Christmas isn’t a holiday when David Randall’s psychic friend Camden has harrowing flashbacks to a murder, Randall’s mother has a startling lifestyle change, and his girlfriend Kary decides to join a group of superheroes. Randall’s investigations lead him down into tunnels underneath Parkland, NC, and down into his own unresolved grief.
Synopsis
It’s Christmas in Parkland, North Carolina, but PI David Randall is not partaking in the holiday cheer. Years ago, Randall and his psychic friend, Camden, found Jared Hunter stabbed to death. Now Camden is being haunted by flashbacks. Do the flashbacks suggest that Camden is somehow linked with his friend’s killer?
Among the suspects is Boyd Taylor, Randall’s client. Investigation reveals that Jared had served time for breaking into the Parkland Museum of History. Bert Galvin, son of Ralph Galvin, the editor of the Parkland Herald, was also involved.
And what of the inept superhero, the Parkland Avenger? Could the Avenger be a set up by award-hungry Herald reporter, Brooke Verner? The Super Hero Society of Parkland insists the Avenger isn’t one of them.
Jash Tesh has whipped up another charming, wacky mystery from these and other assorted elements.

Synopsis
When veterinarian Rachel Goddard and Deputy Sheriff Tom Bridger take teenagers on an outing to clean up roadside trash in rural Mason County, Virginia, they make a grisly discovery: the plastic-wrapped body of a young woman. One girl peers at the face through the plastic and screams. The corpse is her sister.
During Tom’s investigation, questions arise. Was it random, or was she killed because she was working to prove that a Mason County man was wrongly convicted of murder? If an innocent man was convicted, then the real murderer must be free—and ready to kill to stay that way.
Rachel is coping with a visit from her own sister, Michelle, who is terrified that a man is stalking her. Is the mysterious stalker real and dangerous? Will he turn his attention to Rachel too?
As Tom pursues the stalker question and closes in on the murder case, Rachel fights her own battle—and her past.
