Chapter 21

Attached to the canvas with a tack was a picture. A man and woman were lying on a bed, naked from the waist up. The picture was taken through a curtain into a room Ryley recognized.

Only the woman in this picture wasn’t Kitty. It was Rosalind.

And the man wasn’t the guy from the hotel; it was Kitty’s husband, Christopher Lynch.

“What’s that they say about keeping your friends close but your enemies closer?” Stretch said, appearing next to Ryley. “Those two look might cozy.”

“Where were you? A spirit just attacked me.” She lifted her arm and shook it in front of Stretch’s face.

Stretch waved in dismissal. “You’re still in one piece. Your precious doctor should have warned you she’s the bad influence.”

It was in that moment Ryley realized her trusted shrink was just as guilty at being an imperfect human, just like Ryley and Stretch. It should have brought her comfort to know they were cut from the same cloth. It didn’t.

She frowned at the realization.

Was this a setup? Why hadn’t Kitty wanted Ryley to look? It was incriminating. The picture would have pointed fingers.

Ryley yanked the picture off and opened the manilla envelope holding pictures of Kitty’s affair. She was about to stuff the picture inside when she paused at the words stamped on the back. Logan Bane, PI. “Man, he gets around.”

“If only I wasn’t dead. I’d fight you for him.” Stretch chuckled.

With a scowl at her ghost sidekick, Ryley slid the picture inside the envelope and closed the latch. Christopher and Rosalind were huddled together in the kitchen when Ryley returned. Their heated discussion stopped the second Ryley opened the door.

“I have to go,” Ryley headed toward the front door without making eye contact with either cheater.

Rosalind’s heels clicked on the tile as she hustled after her.

“Well?” Rosalind put her hand on the door frame, stopping Ryley from getting in her car.

Ryley ground her molars together, seething at how her shrink was trying to play her. “I have one question,” Ryley said, trying hard to rein in her anger. “You know I’m not one to judge. God knows I’ve done things I’m not proud of.”

“Ryley, what is it?”

“You’re sleeping with Christopher Lynch. Your client’s husband?” Ryley shook her head in disgust. “When did it start? Was it after the first meeting, or did you wait until Kitty started having her own affair?” God, the ethics of it stunned Ryley.

Rosalind’s mouth parted.

“Yeah. That’s what I thought,” Ryley said and glanced upward. Phillip was back in the window, watching them. “Listen. I will help Kitty cross over, but I can’t do that if you keep secrets from me. No wonder she’s haunting you.”

“How did you know?” Rosalind asked.

“She had a private investigator, and someone attached the picture to her easel. As if she was about to paint it. I would have considered it incriminating evidence if she hadn’t tried to stop me from looking at it. It was like she didn’t want me to see it.”

“Do you think if
