The Road from Belhaven by Margot Livesey

A young Scottish girl discovers she can see into the future.  However, it is a selective gift that does not always help her foretell the future, nor can she change it. She must learn to reconcile this gift with how she will live her life.

Murder Crossed Her Mind by Stephen Spotswood

In 1947 New York City a detective and her assistant race to find an elderly woman who has gone missing and knows too much.  Was the woman taken because of secrets she knows from her work at a law firm or due to her past work for the FBI?
