Walking home from school, Jessica Mastriani heads straight into a huge Indiana thunderstorm and emerges with a newfound psychic ability.

Susannah is a mediator - a contact person for just about anybody who croaks, leaving things ... untidy.

"There''s no such thing as ghosts."At least, that''s what the scientific community believes. High school sophomore Susannah Simon wishes she could agree. She''s only lived in sunny California for two weeks, and already her life''s a whirlwind of pool parties, excellent hair days, and new friends. Oh, yeah ... and her stepbrothers. But otherwise, things are going fab.Until the ghost of a dead woman shows up at her bedside, screaming and begging Suze to find "Red" and tell him that he isn''t responsible for her death. Tracking down a murderer isn''t exactly easy, especially when the clues that Suze pieces together lead straight to the father of Tad Beaumont, the cutest and richest boy in school ... and the first boy who''s ever asked Suze out.Oops.

When struck by lightning, Jess Mastriani developed a psychic ability to find missing children--but now she wants the government and the media to think she''s lost her power.

Susannah Simon finds herself in over her head when she tackles the four ghosts of the star high school students who''ve been tragically killed in a car crash. They are lingering at the scene of a crime, seeking revenge on the geeky student whose car caused the incident, and they''re not above attempted drowning -- of the geek or Susannah -- to even the score! And when Susannah befriends the geek to solve the case, telling herself that she could be saving a future Bill Gates, he turns out to be more like a future Son of Sam....

Jessica Mastriani knew she wasn''t going to be able to hide her psychic powers from the US government forever - but she never thought that she''d actually have something in common with one of their agents! Especially as that agent is Dr Cyrus Krantz , who had previously been brought in to ''convince'' Jess to join his elite team of ''specially gifted'' crime-solvers, when all they were after was using her special skills for their own ends. But when a local boy''s disappearance and untimely death is attributed to a backwoods militia group, Jess'' goal - to find another missing local child - and Dr Krantz''s - to stop a group of madmen before they kill again - turn out to be one and the same....

Sixteen-yeal old Susannah isn''t afraid of ghosts. She can''t afford to be, because she''s a mediator - a first contact for unquiet spirits with a grudge to settle in the real world.

Life hasn''t been too easy for Susannah these past sixteen years -- being a contact person for just about anyone who dies leaves her life a bit untidy most of the time. Now she''s finally arrived in California, where she''ll now live with her mom and her new dad and stepbrothers. She''s tired, she''s hasn''t even started unpacking, and she''s especially in no mood to deal with the ghost hanging around in her new bedroom...as attractive as he may be.
