As You Look Veronica Gutierrez

Yolanda Ávila, a former LAPD cop-turned private investigator, blames herself for her mother's death in a road rage accident. It was her fault. The perpetrator was a suspect she'd pursued in an unrelated case, someone she should've caught by tracking down a license plate number. Any good detective would've done that. But she got cocky, thought she'd catch him by following clues from a stupid dream instead. The only salve against the guilt eating at her now is Yolanda's vow to reject that juju crap.

But when her godson Joey is kidnapped, his parents are suspected of murder, and a stalker threatens her wife Sydney to warn Yolanda off the case, she must deal with more than just the facts. She must confront the juju to overcome her guilt and deal with pent-up grief--or risk losing yet another loved one.
