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 didnโt remember what happened the night before. In fact, she barely remembered the previous three weeks.
An exโarmy officer, now a federal agent assigned to the Special Crimes Unit, Riley was a chameleonโa clairvoyant who could blend in with her surroundings, be anyone or anything she chose to be. The SCUโs expert on the occult, sheโd 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 sheโs awoken to discover that sheโs got a sexy new man in her life and an unreliable memory, and that the clairvoyant abilities sheโs 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 blindmanโs 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 whatโs going on in this coastal community, and thatโs knowledge Riley desperately needs. For what Riley canโt remember is more than enough to cost her her life. This time evil isnโt just closer than she thinksโitโs already there.
