Flash of Light — Barbara Morgenroth

Kip Chanin can find herself in trouble faster than the shutter speed of a good camera and that's usually the reason. It's how Kip looks at the world and how she wants to tell the story in the photos she takes that gets people talking and makes them furious.

But life moves too fast to wonder for long if she'll be forgiven -- for anything. Kip has an 80 year old murder to solve, portraits to take of scruffy rock stars and a friendship to create with a shy jazz singer. All while trying to manage Alex who is 6,000 miles away in serial snowstorms with his sizzling hot co-star throwing herself at him.

The past has surprising ways of sneaking up on people and Kip finds ways to put history behind her and Alex. But not always.
