Found Mysteries: The Rebirth of Violet Franklin and Other Tales Nicholas Westbrook

The Death of Venus Harlow:

Venus needs to solve a murder: her own. She turns to Bryce, a local medium who helps ghosts finish their unresolved business. Together, they work through the investigation. While Bryce can't make any formal arrests, he agrees that he'll get the police enough evidence to make one. Venus is still learning how to use the full extent of her ghostly abilities and Bryce needs evidence before Venus's missing person case is filed away as a cold case.




The Star Map:

Arielle sees stars, but not from familiar constellations. The stars become her obsessions. The glow-in-the-dark decorations dominate her ceiling, but she can't figure out how she knows how to arrange her strange constellations. Her struggles turn to confusion when she sees a customer sketching bits of her star map on napkins at his table, and he introduces her to others with the same knowledge. The question that drives them all on: what might this map of stars lead to?




The Rebirth of Violet Franklin:

Death was only the second most painful thing Violet Franklin had ever experienced. The most painful thing was being brought back from the dead. Her father, a brilliant surgeon driven mad by grief, brings Violet back from the dead. After feeling like a prisoner, Violet escapes from her father's basement and flees to a friend's house. The only way that she'll be able to be truly free is if she can prove she's legally who she says she is to the court. However, Violet's fingerprints don't match any records, her DNA is from a dozen different people, and most signs that she is physically Violet have been washed away by her father's procedure. She needs to convince the court that she is Violet or she'll never be able to recover from her trauma.
