The police firmly believe that Julia Ransom was guilty of the brutal murder of her husband, renowned psychic August Ransom. However, after six months of investigation and media frenzy, they donโt have enough evidence, and she is at last free of their scrutiny, both the police and the lurking paparazzi. One afternoon she walks from her Pacific Heights home to Fishermanโs Wharf, quite alone, unwatched, and, she realizes, happy. Standing at the railing on Pier 39, she savors the sounds around her โ tourists, countless fat seals on the barges โ and for a moment enjoys the sheer normalcy of it all.
It suddenly comes to an end when a respectable-looking man distracts her with conversation before striking her unconscious and heaving her over the railing into San Francisco Bay. If it hadnโt been for Special Agent Cheney Stone, Julia would have drowned. Cheney quickly realizes the attempt on her life has to connect to the murder of her husband, and reopens the investigation with the SFPD.
Meanwhile, in Maestro, Virginia, Sheriff Dixon Noble โ last seen in Point Blank โ learns about a woman named Charlotte Pallack, whose extraordinary resemblance to his vanished wife Christie, gone for three years, sends Dix across the country. Although he knows in his heart that this woman canโt possibly be his missing wife, Dix is compelled to see her with his own eyes.
Once in San Francisco, Dix and Cheneyโs paths cross, brought together by FBI Special Agents Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock. Together they begin to unlock the mystery behind Charlotte Pallackโs identity as well as the forces behind Julia Ransomโs attempted murder and the vicious murder of her husband.
The most fascinating aspect of the case is the extraordinary cast of psychics they meet as they push deep into the intriguing and complex world of visions, mind benders, and communicators to the dead.
