About this ebook
!!FLASH!! Unbidden and unpredictable. That’s what can happen when Echo touches objects and people. IFs – intuitive flashes. She’s inept at interpreting her bizarre dreams and her IFs may be erratic, but the French Quarter locals have adopted Echo and her Insight Foresight Benevolent Foundation as their resident sleuth.
It's the weekend of the Satchmo Summerfest. When a Jazz legend's house is demolished, the discovery of a 1939 newspaper photo and a silver key hidden inside a tarnished cigarette case, triggers assaults, mayhem and treasure hunting. The Foundation follows a spider web of clues, revealing an unsolved murder at the root of the mystery.
Someone is obsessed with recovering the hand tooled key Echo is safeguarding. Someone who wants the seventy-two year old secret to stay buried. Echo wrangles with making sense of old history, wacky dreams and nonsensical blues tunes while dodging and outwitting her adversary - until the menace escalates with a kidnapping. The ransom demand takes Echo on a chase through the French Quarter in a frantic search for the right keyhole.
Vickie Pettee
The year 1952 saw a number of debuts – polio vaccine, Mr. Potato Head game, roll-on deodorant, the Honeymooners and me. I grew up in a small town in L’Acadiane, where bayous and sugar cane fields were playgrounds, fireflies a summer evening delight and cousins my closest friends. The town library was my portal to all that was real and imagined outside of the rural community beside the Bayou Teche. Two million international miles for business and pleasure qualify me as a road warrior, witness to colorful settings and cultures. An avid reader of mystery, thrillers and international intrigue, I’m always thrilled to recognize a location in a novel as something more than a clichéd depiction from a postcard. I strive to bring that sentiment to my settings. After working and living abroad, my husband and I retired back to Louisiana. As we reacquainted ourselves with local cultures and traditions, I switched from reader to writer mode. Characters began popping in at breakfast and dinner, so I wrote a story to give them a home. They still visit.
