AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Mira Chambers has an infallible talent for solving mysteries ... but using it always gets her into worse trouble.
'Having spent half her life in asylums, Mira discovers a sense of self-worth, finally, in helping victims of crime. When the matron who helped Mira to regain her independence is abducted, she attempts to save her with the help of ex-army lieutenant, Adam Lockman. But Freddie Leopard, a dangerous sociopath, tries to destroy Lockman′s reputation... and Mira.
'Cut off and alone for the first time in her life, Mira is swept into a world of conspiracies and betrayals, where her dream of achieving a normal life is constantly thwarted by the far darker desires of her enemies.
'Layers of secrets unravel as her world falls apart - until the ultimate sacrifice presents a chance to save her friend and revisit her lost love in the "echoes of yesterday."' (From the publisher's website.)

Dedication:
For my sons
whom I shall haunt forever with love
from the shadows of yester-years
For David Meshow
whose music inspires me
And with special thanks to Australia Zoo
for frisking all their kangaroos
to answer bizarre questions about Mira's joey.
