Newly-minted Santa Fe police detective Justine "Jace"
Carroll finds herself enmeshed in what began as a simple
death of a drifter that takes labyrinthine twists, drawing
her deeper into a world of shifting realities. At the center
of the tangled knot is the mesmerizing and mysterious Dante
Sabanne, a sexy, powerful, wealthy recluse whose involvement
with ancient poisons, mystical lore, exotic sexual practices
and unusual weaponry makes him by turns a crucial expert
witness, a devastating lover...and possibly the man behind a
cult whose profane rituals have turned from depraved to deadly.
The Jace who thought she knew exactly who she was and what
she wanted becomes both pawn and queen in a battle between
the dark and the light. As she seeks to fulfill her duty to
protect the innocent, an ancient amulet with healing powers
is the battleground on which she and others may die if she
makes the wrong choice between the evidence before her eyes
and the yearnings of a heart she is no longer sure she can
trust.
