Summary

Fascinating things can be learned on a field trip.

Crash has something to prove to one of his internet colleagues. Luckily he knows a level-five medium who can debunk the theory that mummification ties a spirit to the material plane.

Vic is perfectly willing to go to the museum with his lover's ex-boyfriend, but it seems like nothing he says or does will satisfy Crash.

Mind Reader is set between books 2 & 3 in the PsyCop series.

Excerpt

I leaned over the display case and stared down through the glass.

"Pretty messed up," Crash said.

I thought for a second that he was reading my mind, but then I realized he was talking about the display. I shrugged. The mummified babies were just some brown, withered husks. I'd seen worse, lots worse.

"What does it say about a culture, that they're so obsessed with their dead that they go through all this preparation and ritual to preserve the body?"

I glanced up at a small sign on the wall I'd noticed that said something about it. "They, uh, thought they'd need this stuff in the afterlife. Just being thorough, I guess."
