Heart to Heart

Meet Ashton Ford...Psychic Detective... Private Investigator Ashton Ford has special powers, powers that some call supernatural. A former naval intelligence officer, highly knowledgeable in cryptology and philosophy, Ford will shatter your ideas of reality and take you into a mystical world of vision, intuition, and psychic truth. A phenomenal psychic, unparalleled lover, and a true Renaissance man, Ashton Ford can see into the future and even into the distant past using his psychic powers to assist special clients who are in crisis. Don Pendleton’s fifth novel of the Ashton Ford, Psychic Detective series, Heart to Heart, is an adventure that Ashton Ford never intended to share because it involved many tender depths of his own heart. It all started with the sudden appearance of a gentleman reported to have died over 150 years ago—and a mind-blowing mystery high above the sea in Laguna Beach, California. There, in a magnificent mansion, Ford finds himself surrounded by luxurious comfort and the flesh and blood “ghosts” of people from the past. Ford’s keen and awesome talents must now pierce the secret of the mansion, while his heart, at the mercy of an ageless and beautiful sculptress, follows a dangerous path of its own. For Ford, his beliefs about reincarnation and reality would never be the same as he sees into the past, and sometimes, into your heart, as well as his own.

She was naked, and her body was like some denser concentration of light. It was almost incandescent, yet I could see through it. She was about ten paces ahead of me, but when she spoke it was like she was speaking from inside my head. "A thousand pardons, my master, but you must not be here. Danger here. Go back." Suddenly Valentinius appeared beside her—his body shooting light just like hers. "We must respect her imperatives, Ashton," he intoned. "We must?" "To be sure." Valentinius stretched out a hand to me. "Come, Ashton." It was not a self-volitional movement—I simply obeyed. I stepped forward and took his hand... “Ashton Ford is a spectacular character...” ~Booklist Titles in the Ashton Ford, Psychic Detective Series: Ashes to Ashes; Eye to Eye; Mind to Mind; Life to Life; Heart to Heart; Time to Time.
