FBI profiler Sophie Anderson quickly jumps into the Asian underworld in her first case as a transplanted Aussie in L.A. Her knowledge of martial arts leads her to discover connections where others see none in various recent deaths, but her visions of crimes, deaths and near-misses makes her a truly worthy opponent for members of the Yakuza.

P.D. Martin quickly immerses the reader into the world of her work. Sophie Anderson is presented as a professional who relies on excellent detective skills, knowledgeable contacts and an ability to connect the dots that allow her to use her visions in a productive way. She is no fainting flower who relies on psychic showmanship or who tries to dodge the physical elements of an investigation. For these reasons, readers who enjoy hard- nosed police drama or CSI-style television shows will find her an engaging character.
