Chill of Fear by Kay Hooper

I enjoyed this story.  Kay Hooper's ability to keep the story moving with suspense is phenomenal.  Psychic FBI agent Quentin Hayes returns each year to the Lodge to revisit a 25 year ago murder of Missy Turner; he combs through the files over and over looking for anything he may have missed before. The case is important to him because he was at the lodge 25 years ago as a 12 year old boy who befriended Missy.  Meanwhile, Diana Brisco has struggled to put her life together after being heavily sedated for the better part of her life because of terrible dreams, vision, voices, and blackouts; she finally breaks free of her father's influence, and the medication used to dull her senses.  With her head clear, she meets Quentin who helps her to accept she is not mentally ill but she is very special; he helps her come to terms with the fact that she is a medium and all this time, the dreams, visions, and the blackouts would lead her to the lodge where she finally uncovers the truth regarding her childhood; she discovers Missy was a her sister.  With the help of Missy and the restless souls living in hotel, she finally uncovers the truth about Missy murder and a very evil entity that has terrorized the lodge for many years.  The book is worth the time invested to enjoy a real good thriller.
