Dreams of the Dead by Perri O'Shaughnessy

Lake Tahoe lawyer Nina Reilly is hired to handle a case involving the sale of a ski resort with the proceeds split between the owner and his family members. But the one wrinkle is that the owner's presumed-dead son has sent a message from Brazil that he wants his share of the money. Since that son had tried to kill Nina then disappeared, she has long assumed he was dead. But is he? That is the premise of the engrossing Dreams of the Dead by Perri O'Shaughnessy (the pen name of 2 sisters).

I like the character of Nina. She's smart and feisty, a good lawyer and a good mom.
But she can't make up her mind about which man in her life she loves. And she sometimes makes ill-advised moves (as at the end of this book when she decides to visit several potential murder suspects on her own at night). She's not perfect, which makes me like her even more.

You don't necessarily have to read the rest of the series to enjoy this (though reading the book just before this one probably wouldn't hurt). Good read for a hot summer day.
