Synopsis

Now Elizabeth Chase returns in a case more dangerous than ever: An increasingly violent rapist has been terrorizing San Diego, but the lack of physical evidence at the scenes gives the police very little to go on. Skeptical but desper­ate as the rapist edges ever closer, the cops turn to Elizabeth for paranormal assistance. Her first step is to hypnotize the victims, hoping to unearth clues buried in their subconscious memories. But when her interpretations have devas­tating results, she tries to back off the case—only to find herself drawing nearer and nearer to the deadly conclusion. "Martha Lawrence's parapsychologist detective cast a spell on me: I couldn't put the novel down." —Linda Barnes, author of Hardware
