Touching the Dead (Jo Wolfe #1)

A mummified body washed up on a beach near Chichester.
A tormented detective cursed with a gift she didn't want.
 
When the autopsy reveals the victim's heart was torn from her body, Detective Inspector Jo Wolfe and her team wonder if someone is continuing the work of Anubis, the Egyptian God of Death.
 
With the body count rising, Jo must touch the dead, to help her solve the case. But is her  first suspect, Daniel Tate, the right man? Or is she misreading the snatched visions?
 
This is the first in a new series following Jo Wolfe, a detective who developed psychic abilities after a riding accident. The only person who knows about her gift (or curse depending upon your point of view) is her father and together they attempt to right the wrongs of the living, with the aid of the dead.
