The Wizard's Touch — Ward Parker

A pivotal book in the series. And it truly touches a nerve.Another guest bites the dust. It's through no fault of my own (I think), but this is really bad for my historic inn's reputation. Soon, no customers will want to check in, due to fear of involuntarily checking out.This latest demise involved a giant oak tree (long story) and a hidden rare gem. My hot detective friend thinks it was actually a homicide. I need to use every bit of my psychometry, and the help of The Memory Guild, to sort it out.But I'm also trying to rescue my husband from an evil wizard who is plotting to take over the Magic Guild of San Marcos. Can I protect the witches of my family, my daughter and mother, from him as he bombards the magic community with love dreams? (Believe me, it isn't pretty.)The one person in my family who isn't magical, I'm just a middle-aged innkeeper with some paranormal abilities.That is, until a faerie hints that I have a destiny of greatness. Really, I don't even want to know.
