Willing Hostage

Thirtysomething Hollywood literary agent, single mom, and reluctant psychic Charlie Greene is not your average crime solver. Nor is she immune to affairs of the heart, with boyfriends who range from hunky movie stars to amorous detectives. When she isn’t talking deals or doing lunch, she’s helping to solve oddball cases that have the local police stumped.
 
Whether having an out-of-body experience while attempting to crack a New Age murder on the foggy Oregon coast, investigating a death in her own backyard, or taking on film-industry titans in the Utah desert, the New York transplant relies on instinct, old-fashioned detective work, and the occasional clairvoyant glimmer to stay one step ahead of mayhem and violence. Family affairs take center stage when Charlie seeks advice from her teenage daughter and comes to the rescue of her menopausal mother.
