Smoke Screen - Carol Rincker

With her artist father missing and a forest fire edging closer, Sage Picard returns to northern Minnesota for what should be a relaxing semester-long teaching break. No way that's happening! To make matters worse, her inherited psychic powers refuse to kick in with their usual problem-solving guidance. Meanwhile, a suspicious power broker wants Sage's property. When she becomes the victim of a nighttime attack, it's clear something's up, yet none of it makes sense. How does Judd, her father's protégé, fit in? And then there's the disappearance of Watson Mason, husband of elderly Montana, or MT, as she's affectionately called. In steps Alex Rogers, a brash investigator who refuses to play by the rules. Can an old father-and-daughter game shed light on the situation? Is it time to pack up and bail? Or is there still time for some mystic force to come into play?
