The Astral, or, Till the Day I Die

Shot while trying to prevent the kidnapping, murder, and brutal despoilment of her thirteen-year-old daughter, Southern California book editor Catherine Desmond has a “tunnel-of-light” experience. “There is something only you can do,” the spirits tell her, and she is returned intact to her former life—or is she? When she recovers, Catherine finds herself gifted—or cursed—with astral projection, and to her dismay finds herself linked psychically with her daughter's murderer. But he too can project himself, and while she searches for a way to bring the brutal killer to justice, he begins stalking her as well, setting in motion an ethereal cat-and-mouse game, with life—and death—hanging in the balance!
