All well and good, until Seymour Severs, her father?s boss calls to tell Kendra her family perished in a murder/suicide car crash. Kendra?s sixth sense tells her he?s lying. How can she prove they are not dead? How can she find them? Why did Severs lie, except that her father, an FBI Agent must be in some kind of trouble?
