The first victim rolls out of a rain barrel.
Soon, Cici Gurule dreams of other women's attacks, thanks to visions from her dead twin. The victims' watery graves torment Cici, feeding her growing fear of water.
The killer targets Cici's congregants and friends, taunting her and her lover, Detective Sam Chastain. Sam partners with the SFPD to investigate the widening web of assault, death, and pain... all while Cici struggles with the choices she made in Chaco Canyon.
When the killer lures a teen girl from her family, Cici and Sam's desperation to identify him becomes critical. But the clues, from the disappearance of Sam's ex-lover, to a cat with a chilling message for Cici, are leading them further from the truth, rather than toward saving the kidnapped girl.

My review: The guilt of
being responsible for many deaths was too much to bear for Reverend Cici, even
if they were international spies. Most considered her to be a hero—but she
wasn’t. Recovering from the injuries she got from the last case, an old friend
finally proclaims his love for her. So things were looking up at least. Then a
dreadful case turns a dark corner. It all started with a death in a barrel…
The
telepathic communications or “visions” from her dead twin might help Cici solve
a mysterious death and save a kidnapped girl. Would they get to her in time?
The
well-written story crafted an interestingly complex case with lots of twists
and turns. I enjoyed the psychic aspect. The “messages from beyond” were the
leading forces driving this tough case. Cici
and Sam made a great team—a dynamic duo with altruistic tendencies warped in a
dark past. At times, story had a general lag, which debilitated an otherwise exciting
case, and the dialogue often overflowed with too much information and
procedural tactics that can be overwhelming. Otherwise, I can see readers
seeping into this mystery, wondering how it’ll all turn out.
A pretty
good mystery.
My rating: 3 stars
