Waking the Dead

Here's a direct link to this week's featured
highlight, Waking the Dead by Heather Graham, which is due to be released very soon.
Description
They say a painting can
have a life of its own …
In the case of Ghosts in the Mind
by Henry Sebastian Hubert, that's more than just an expression. This painting
is reputed to come to life - and to bring death. The artist was a friend of
Lord Byron and Mary Shelley, joining them in Switzerland during 1816, "the
year without a summer." That was when they all explored themes of horror
and depravity in their art …
Now, almost two hundred years later, the painting appears in New Orleans.
Wherever it goes, death seems to follow.
Danielle Cafferty and Michael Quinn, occasional partners in solving
crime, are quickly drawn into the case. They begin to make connections between
that summer in Switzerland and this spring in Louisiana. Danni, the owner of an
eccentric antiques shop, and Quinn, a private detective, have discovered that
they have separate but complementary talents when it comes to investigating unusual situations.
Trying to blend their personal relationship with the professional lives
they've stumbled into, they learn how much they need each other. Especially as
they confront this work of art - and evil. The people in the portrait might be
dead, but something seems to wake
them and free them to commit bloody crimes. Cafferty and Quinn must discover
what that is. And they have to destroy it - before it destroys them.
