MEL WAS THE FIRST ON the scene, followed closely by the county medical examiner’s van. Whisper Cove was too small to have their own coroner, so they had to contract with the county for services. Thankfully, they didn’t have to wait long today.

“What do we have?” Allison Ryan, one of four pathologists the county employed, asked as she snapped on a pair of rubber gloves.

“Jessica Hayden,” Mel volunteered from his perch close to the woman. He was crouched low so he could look over the body from a fresh vantage point, and he appeared uneasy. “We were looking to question her in the disappearance of Zoe Mathers.”

Allison’s expression shifted. “I see.” She took a long moment to scan the immediate area. “No little girl?”

“No. We’ve looked. She’s not here.”

“Well, I guess that’s something.” Allison carefully slipped her hand into the still-fluttering hair and pressed her fingers against the woman’s neck. “Just making sure,” she said when Jared shot her an agitated look. “That’s part of my job description.”

“Do you think we didn’t check?”

“No. I still have to check myself. I’m sorry if you don’t like that.”

“Whatever.” He moved his hands to Harper’s shoulders and gave them a light rub, which wasn’t easy given the size of her heavy parka. “Do you have a cause of death?”

“Are you kidding?” Allison’s eyes flashed. “I just got here. I actually have to look at the body before making a determination.”

“She was struck in the head,” Harper automatically offered. “I’m guessing by that huge rock.” She pointed toward a huge stone located about two feet from the body.

“What makes you say that?” Allison asked. “And, oh, who are you?”

“This is Harper Harlow,” Jared automatically answered. “She’s my girlfriend and she was with me when the discovery was made.”

Allison narrowed her eyes. “Since when do police detectives take their girlfriends to murder scenes with them?”

“Harper has a special skill set,” Mel interjected. “She’s the reason we knew to look in the park in the first place.”

“Uh-huh.” Allison stared so hard at Harper it made the ghost hunter uncomfortable. “I think I’ve read stuff about you in the newspaper. You were the one who was almost killed by the guy who came back from the dead, right?”

“What does that have to do with anything?” Jared exploded.

“I’m simply trying to understand what she’s doing here.”

Harper was too cold to continue playing games. “I can see ghosts,” she volunteered, ignoring the wild look in Mel’s eyes as he fanned his face behind the medical examiner. “I run a ghost-hunting business where we try to help displaced souls cross over. I saw Jessica’s soul last night, although she disappeared quickly. It didn’t sit well, so we came back this morning to look for her ... and found this instead.”

“I see.” Allison flicked her eyes back to the body, moving her hands to the back of Jessica’s head before speaking again. “She was definitely struck on the back of the head. I don’t know that I can say it was with that rock, though.
