A reluctant psychic, a missing woman, and vengeance from beyond the grave.

Rachel Thompson is missing, and the police have no leads. The serial killer who has taken her is efficient, elusive, and seemingly invisible.

Her only hope is Jacob Daniels, a man tormented by his second sight.

Jacob is driven to search for his friend in the slim hope that she is still alive. However, that means accepting he must use his gift and ask the spirits for their help.

Assistance from beyond can be a double-edged blade. When Jacob follows the advice given to him, he finds Rachel.

He also finds her killer and becomes his next target.

Jacob fights for his life as he is thrust into a mind-warping maelstrom of vengeful spirits and plans gone astray. It’s his life or the killer’s. Only one can survive the day.

Will Jacob survive a second encounter with a man determined to eliminate the only person who can identify him?

A.W. Powers

The characters in the world of A.W. Powers come to him in dreams and when he is mowing the lawn. He can't decide if he should quit mowing or go into business and mow more lawns. The characters want their stories told and have chosen him to be their mouthpiece. He believes his characters have many of the features he desires but is sadly lacking. Even the bad guys. Powers spends his time failing to understand the behaviors of people, but appreciative of what they do, knowing he couldn't make it up. No one can. But it's all material. Fortunately, he spends his time writing, not scratching his head and creating a bald spot.

The Psychic Guardian Angel series arrived in a series of nightmares. Powers recognized the literary value of the nightmares, and the therapeutic value of using them in his writing. If there are any extended streaks of low creativity, like writer's block or too much fun, the nightmares get worse and will even repeat themselves until making their way into a notebook or file for future use and he is back at the keyboard. Sleep can be difficult enough without having characters and plotlines nagging at you, requiring resolution or exorcism.
