Return to 1930s Burning Cove, California, the
glamorous seaside playground for Hollywood stars, mobsters,
spies, and a host of others who find more than they bargain
for in this mysterious town.
Maggie Lodge, assistant to the reclusive advice columnist
known only as Dear Aunt Cornelia to her readers, hires down-
but-not-quite-out private eye Sam Sage to help track down
the person who is blackmailing her employer. Maggie and Sam
are a mismatched pair. As far as Sam is concerned, Maggie is
reckless and in over her head. She is not what he had in
mind for a client, but he can’t afford to be choosy.
Maggie, on the other hand, is convinced that Sam is badly in
need of guidance and good advice. She does not hesitate to
give him both.
In spite of the verbal
fireworks between them, they are fiercely attracted to each
other, but each is convinced it would be a mistake to let
passion take over. They are, after all, keeping secrets from
each other. Sam is haunted by his past, which includes a
marriage shattered by betrayal and violence. Maggie is
troubled by intense and vivid dreams—dreams that she
can sometimes control. There are those who want to run
experiments on her and use her for their own purposes, while
others think she should be committed to an asylum.
When the pair discovers someone is
impersonating Aunt Cornelia at a conference on psychic
dreaming and a woman dies at the conference, the door is
opened to a dangerous web of blackmail and murder. Secrets
from the past are revealed, leaving Maggie and Sam in the
path of a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to exact
vengeance.
