On this special Thursday episode, V chats with Anna Dalhaimer Bartkowski about her book "DEAD RECKONING: A Rosalind Schmidt Genealogical Mystery"

In a web of genealogy, murder, and karma, Rosalind Schmidt, the sole survivor of her family, uncovers a dark ancestral secret.

Fate turns sinister when she finds a co-worker dead and suspicion points directly at her. As she wakes from restless dreams of her ancestors, Rosalind questions her sanity. Are these glimpses remnants of past lives or echoes of a karmic destiny? When Rosalind learns of a long-lost relative connected to a haunting murder, she turns amateur sleuth to track two killers and unravel her bloodline.

With two unsolved murders bearing down on her, she must dig deep to uncover hidden truths.

Rosalind races to unearth the secrets within her ancestral roots. Will she untangle her family history and clear her name? Her survival hinges on a race against time. Can she live long enough?

"Dead Reckoning" explores the interconnectedness of generations, the relentless pursuit of justice, and the chilling consequences of a legacy steeped in darkness as Rosalind unearths the truth and confronts the ancestral forces that exhaust her existence.
