A murder on a quiet street in Albuquerque leads a psychic amateur sleuth and her FBI agent husband into an investigation of stolen government secrets.
Trouble always seems to find Harrie McKinsey. From the darkness that haunts her dreams at night, to the morning she discovers a toddler sitting in the flower bed on her front porch, covered in blood. A search for the little girl’s parents leads Harrie and her husband, FBI agent DJ Scott, into a grisly murder investigation of the child’s father, a computer lab employee at Sandia National Labs with a security clearance at the highest government levels.
Whatever Katie’s father knew, it led to his brutal death. And now with the child’s life at stake, Harrie won’t sit still until the killer is caught. Along with DJ, her best friend Ginger, and Ginger’s husband, Harrie is drawn into a world where there are those who would stop at nothing shy of theft, kidnapping, and murder to gain power. Harrie might just be in over her head this time. But that doesn’t stop her from pursuing a killer who intends to make her his final victim.
“Filled with tension and suspense. . . . This is Patricia Wood’s best book yet.” —Joseph Badal, Hillerman Prize–winning author of Ultimate Betrayal
