Gabriel Blackstone is a thief who steals industial secrets
with the help of his partner, Isidore, a hacker without
parallel. Gabriel had been on a different path until he
ran into a gruesome discovery which changed his life
forever.
Gabriel and his lover, Cecily Franck were remote viewers.
They were part of a team who attempted to save people who
were kidnapped. Gabriel's ego led him to fake some
information which resulted in the death of a young woman.
At that moment, he quit the team and left Oxford for a new
life.
Cecily has married one of the wealthiest men in England,
William Whittington. William's son has disappeared and
William has approached Gabriel to find out where he is and
what happened to him.
Gabriel rejects the job until he takes a ride and discovers
the young man is dead. The information he receives is so
confusing he feels he has no choice but to follow it
through.
This decision will alter the course of Gabriel's life once
again. He will meet two sisters who has significant
powers. They are both witches and decscendants of a man
who believed in the power of memory. One of them is a more
powerful remote viewer than Gabriel. His interest in both
sisters will not only sidetrack his investigation but will
lead to knowledge that one of them is a killer.
As his investigation progresses and his fascination with
the two sisters increases, Gabriel will be forced to make
decisions that will change him forever.
This is not a book that I would have picked up on my own.
Once I started to read, I was so fascinated that I couldn't
put it down. At times, the explanations of the power of
memory became ponderous but the elements of witchcraft,
mysticism and remote viewing were so intriguing that it was
impossible to read this is a detached manner. If you find
any one of these aspects of the story of interest, you
won't want to miss this book.
Gabriel Blackstone is an unscrupulous hacker and unrepentant
"remote viewer" who can't resist his ex-lover's request to
look into her stepson's disappearance. His investigation
leads him to a rambling Victorian home that bewitches him-as
do its beautiful, enigmatic owners, the Monk sisters. The
pair are solar witches, obsessed with alchemy and the Art of
Memory, a practice invented by the ancient Greeks.
With his uneasy suspicion that one of the sisters
is a killer, Gabriel sets out to determine which. But the
more entangled in the case he becomes, the more deeply he is
drawn into the sisters' entrancing world-losing hold of
reality even as he falls into mortal danger...
