As she carefully locked the backdoor behind her, she noticed the stairs were in darkness, apparently all the way down to the bottom floor. She gave a sigh of annoyance. Now she’d have to fumble her way down the stairs.
With one hand firmly round the handrail she started her descent, feeling her way with her feet before treading down the next step.
Half way down she got a peculiar feeling of not being alone. Reluctantly, she put one foot down the next step…

A string of brutal murders rages the City, and at the same time there’s an unexplainable increase of suicides.
It means a lot of extra work for DC Dwayne Miller and his friend and colleague, Hank Morrison.

When the police arrest a young man in suspect of the killings, Dwayne’s girlfriend Emma Johnson, however, detects other leads: In the suspect’s horoscope there’re clues that point to poisoning.  This offers a completely different approach to the case.
As a policeman, however, Dwayne cannot make use of Emma’s alternative theory.

Together with her friend Abigail Williams she then secretly starts working towards finding an answer – even though intuition warns her that a disaster is nearing.
Suddenly her two friends are led into a cynical killer’s web…

The killer stood hidden beneath a couple of trees on the spacious campus-area.

His hand fell feebly without reaching the glass. The drowsiness overwhelmed him, and his head sank back onto the sofa he was sitting on.

Then he got up and took from his pocket a pair of latex gloves.

He pressed his hand against her mouth to prevent her screaming for help…

Who’s next?

”Staged Murder” is the 5. volume in the Starry Sky series with astrologer Emma Johnson.

Terrified she turned her face to the side window and her blood ran cold as she saw the big black motorbike driving  beside her car.
At this moment the biker opened the face shield on his helmet and smiled at her. Relief streamed through her body at the sight of the wellknown face.
He gave a friendly wave before overtaking and driving  ahead.
She saw him turn from the main road and drive up the dirt track toward her own destination – her temporary home.
So, she wouldn’t be all on her own tonight after all…

Emma Johnson notices a strong warning within a new client’s birth chart – the planet of war, Mars, standing upon the planet of fate, Saturn: Danger of extreme violence.
The client, however, thinks she’s already lived through this special aspect: Only a couple of minutes parted her from witnessing a massacre on the main road, where she saw a figure on a big black motorbike leave the crime scene. And shortly after her boyfriend was killed.

She does have a rankling feeling, though, that there’s something she should remember – something lurking in her subconsciuous. Something she knows, but can’t seem to recall.
Not until much later does the memory come forward quite clearly.

But at this point she finds herself alone with a killer…

”Deceitful Murder” is the 6. volume in the Starry Sky series with astrologer Emma Johnson.
