Sister Gypsy Moon — Karen Leabo

She just wanted to live quietly. The crumbling purple house, wedged into a little-known Dallas neighborhood, seems the perfect place for Gypsy Larabee to hide from her homicidal ex-boyfriend. But the house harbors dangerous secrets, and trying to find the missing homeowner -- a psychic named Ruby--proves hazardous to Gypsy's health. It all starts when a neighbor mistakes Gypsy for Ruby. A few chance comments later, Gypsy has located a missing child, and soon she's dealing with a media frenzy, religious-zealot picketers, a violent gang member obsessed with the purple house -- and one sexy, persistent reporter determined to uncover whatever Gypsy is hiding. Add to Gypsy's problems her control freak lawyer sister, Petal, who moves in after her husband locks her out of her Highland Park mansion, and the quietly obscure existence Gypsy dreamed of is in fragments.
