About No Room to Breathe
Devyn Norris, psychic and counselor, is back in Chicago to find a missing young woman and give the grieving family closure after six long years without answers. Her success at locating the girl’s remains sets off a domino-effect of wary hope as Devyn is invited to help solve a similar cold case.
But Detective Cade Laurier isn’t happy to see her—he’s furious. Cold cases aside, she owes him answers and he won’t rest until he has them.
Read an excerpt from Chapter 1
Devyn Norris wondered if she would ever be comfortable in a police station. The obvious answer was no. She and the cops didn’t see eye to eye on how to achieve justice.
That sounded bitter, even in her own head. And it wasn’t even a fair critique.
She and the police simply worked with vastly different methods and tools. They definitely had different standards. And that’s how it should be.
What perturbed her most right now was how the police often dropped cases that didn’t progress. Too often cases were shoved aside and allowed to go cold, leaving victims in a devastating limbo.
Of course, she understood the department limitations of manpower and resources, but it still felt callous. Especially when those loved ones with lingering fears and questions reached out to her for help. They always hoped she could thaw out a case and she did her best to deliver using her unique abilities.
Which was why she was back in Chicago. Again.
She usually stayed away from big cities. Dense populations created too many opportunities for random details and stray information to come at her—unbidden. People had no idea the secrets they gave away. Clues and facts someone with her skill set could pick up too easily.
Not that she would ever use the intel that fell on her like rain. Most of the time she could tune it out and let it go. And though there were no professional regulations in her chosen career, she only used those random drips and drops of information if she sensed a crime was about to be committed.
In general, she found people were guilty of all kinds of things. Most of the time it was self-inflicted pain or regret. Nothing remotely criminal.
Stepping out of her car, she stared at the big glass doors and steeled herself. Though she hadn’t been inside this particular police station, she had worked with a detective from this office.
Please let him be working elsewhere today.
Normally, when information needed to be shared with police, she made a call with a burner phone that no one could track. Some might call it overkill or paranoia. Devyn considered it a practicality. She didn’t need police getting in her face for trying to help.
Unfortunately, today was far from normal.
