New York Times
bestselling author Kay Hooper returns with a relentless
thriller that brings her readers face-to-face with fear
itself. In this terrifying new novel, a psychic special
agent finds herself caught up in a tangled web of secrets,
lies . . . and evil.
Riley Crane woke up fully
dressed, a gun under her pillow, and covered in blood. Even
more frightening, she didn’t remember what happened the
night before. In fact, she barely remembered the previous
three weeks.
An ex—army officer, now a federal agent
assigned to the Special Crimes Unit, Riley was a chameleon–a
clairvoyant who could blend in with her surroundings, be
anyone or anything she chose to be. The SCU’s expert on the
occult, she’d been sent to the beachfront cottage on Opal
Island by her enigmatic chief, Noah Bishop, to investigate
reports of dangerous occult activity.
But that was
three weeks ago. Now she’s awoken to discover that she’s got
a sexy new man in her life and an unreliable memory, and
that the clairvoyant abilities she’s always depended on to
protect her are MIA. Worse yet, with SCU resources stretched
thinner than ever before, Riley is alone and without backup,
feeling her way through a deadly game of blindman’s buff,
where no one around her is quite who or what they seem. And
a bizarre murder is only the first jarring reminder of how
high the stakes really are.
Bishop wants Riley off
the case. So does powerful local D.A. Ash Prescott. Both her
old retired army buddy Gordon Skinner and Sheriff Jake
Ballard believe she can catch a vicious killer. But one of
these four men knows exactly what’s going on in this coastal
community, and that’s knowledge Riley desperately needs. For
what Riley can’t remember is more than enough to cost her
her life. This time evil isn’t just closer than she
thinks–it’s already there.
