Keisha Ceylon, last seen in Linwood Barclay’s blockbuster thriller No Time for Goodbye, has perfected her routine. She knows how to pick up clues and lead a desperate person along, charging a cool thousand bucks for her “psychic” skills. Now Keisha is about to ring the doorbell of a home where a man waits for news—any news—about his missing wife.

So the dance between the con woman and the victim’s husband begins. But Keisha, blinded by her ability to separate people from their money, has no idea what she is walking into, how many lies and secrets swirl around her, and what kind of danger she should have seen coming—before it is too late.
