From the cover: Riley Crane woke up fully dressed, a gun under her pillow and covered in blood. Even more frightening, she didn't remember what happened the night beofre. In facr she barely remembered the prevoius three weeks. An ex-Army officer, now a fereal agent assigned to the Speical Crimes Unit. Rliey was a chameleon-a clairvoyant who could blend in with her surrounding, be anyone or anything she choses to be. The SCU's expert on the occult, she'd been sent to the beach-front cottage on Opal Island by her enugmatic cheif, Noah Bishop, to investigate reports of dangerous occult activity. But that was three weeks ago. Now she's awoken to discover she's got a sexy new man in her life and an unreliable memory, and that the clairvoyant abilitis she's always depended on to protect are MIA. Worse yet, the SCU resources stretched thinnner that ever before, Riley is alone and without backup, feeling her way through a deadly game of blindman's bluff, 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 vicoius killer. But one of these four men knows exactly what's going on in this coastal community, and that's the knowledge Riley desperatly needs. For what Riley can't remember is more than enough to cost her life. This time evil isn't just closer than she thinks-its already there.
