Ever since a horrific event when she was young, Zoe Martinique has been able to Travel outside her body. She has used this talent for profit and perhaps fun, investigating things for people that an ordinary detective could not easily. It's a cool gig, for the most part, until one night, a phantom of some sort touches her spirit form, leaving a bruise and making her corporeal while still out of the body. That's freaky enough, but it's only the seed from which her problems will sprout and multiply like weeds. Soon, Zoe's health is failing, partly from repeated kidnappings that involve violence to her person and extended out of body stays, she has otherworldly beings and all too worldly evil ones after her, and her voice is literally stolen, ala the Little Mermaid. Zoe does not know what is going on, or worse, what she is becoming, but she's determined to find the truth, hopefully before she or someone she loves suffers a dire fate, the least of which might be death.

Zoe's story is a complex, multi-faceted and layered one. New twists emerge virtually every chapter, and you never know what will be next. Ms. Weldon's imagination is intriguing and well-developed. I look forward to seeing more from this writer.

Synopsis
First in an excitingly different and new paranormal series.

Zo' Martinique has turned her unusual ability into a career. When she's traveling, she can't be seen which makes her an ideal professional snoop. Industrial espionage, surveillance, whatever. But one night things get out of hand while she's outof- body. She witnesses a murder and a soul stealing, and discovers she has unwelcome company: Trench- Coat, a ghostly killer who can see and hurt her.

Teaming up with a blue-eyed police detective, she tries to solve the case and improve her love life. She also enlists the support of her psychic mother and the ghostly couple who haunt her house. And with murderers, kidnappers, and a desperate ex-porn star involved, Zo' needs all the help she can get.
