Haunted by black magic, ruthless human traffickers,
and her own personal demons, a psychotherapist must cross a deadly line
in order to save her new patient in this searing novel of psychological
suspense.
Madeleine Frank knows all too well
that it's impossible to recover from some losses. She herself has
escaped devastating heartbreak, fleeing her native Key West to begin
life anew in the ancient city of Bath. But Madeleine's demons have
never left her and may, in fact, be closer than ever — in the mad
visions of her mother, formerly a priestess of Santeria, the mysterious
Afro-Cuban religion.
Rachel Locklear appears in her office
seeking therapy, but Madeleine becomes increasingly troubled by the
history of this hostile, damaged young woman. As the relationship with
her new patient deepens, Madeleine discovers that Rachel's childhood
eerily echoes her own darkest secret. Reluctant to act unprofessionally
and risk having Rachel walk out of her life forever, Madeleine keeps
her suspicions to herself.
But Madeleine is unaware of sinister
forces gathering strength in her patient's life. On the run from her
ruthless partner — a man who will stop at nothing to control her and
her son — Rachel is desperate to keep her child safe from his father's
dangerous "associates." Finally she has no choice but to involve the
only person she can trust in a murderous web of revenge and deception.
From
the tropical lushness of Key West to the imposing Georgian streets of
Bath two women and their painful pasts collide dangerously with Cuban
sorcery, prostitution, and coldhearted murder — culminating in a tale
as terrifying as it iscompelling.
