Fiction. "Wry humor, straight-talking characters, and shades of the supernatural flavor this cleverly written debut police procedural. Two Spokane cops named Quinn and Odd, a female/male team, drive to an island in the Northwest Indian Territory to pick up a bail-jumper wanted for statutory rape. While there, Odd becomes suddenly psychic after reading about the 30-year-old unsolved murder of an Indian boy and his white girlfriend. Since their bail-jumper is sick, they have just enough time to investigate; and it soon becomes evident that Odd's visions come from the murdered girl"--Library Journal.… (plus d'informations)

This is the second novel featuring Quinn. The setting appears to be a mutated Lummi Island. It is called 'Salish Island', a name which doesn't seem to exist. The fictional island is near Bellingham, reached by a small car ferry. It has an Indian reservation on it, as if Argula combined the Lummi peninsula with Lummi Island.I read Argula's second book first - Walla Walla Suite (A Room With No View) - awhile ago. I recall liking the Quinn character. In the first book she's still a cop. In the second, she's left the police, and her husband, moved to Seattle and starting working as a private detective. I don't recall anything paranormal in the second book.In this first book, there's a whole lotta paranormal going on. She and her partner are sent from Spokane to pick up a fugitive arrested on Salish Island. On the island, her partner starts having odd flashes of memory, and they end up investigating a murder that happened shortly before he was born. On the one hand, you've got past life memories. On the other, you've got the very mundane of cars breaking down, paperwork, and those damn hot flashes. I liked Quinn, and the quirky characters.'Anne Argula' is a pen name for Darryl Ponicsan. ( )

In Walla Walla Suite, Quinn was much more believably burned-out and cynical. Her partner, Odd Gunderson, becomes possessed by the soul of a dead person, and wants to solve the murder. That part I get. What I disliked was that he often "just knew" he had to do something. Lazy writing. Better told were his occasional visions and recollections of his previous life as the victim.
