| Summary, Etc. |
"In this spellbinding, atmospheric novel of romantic suspense, a baffling crime draws a woman with a supernatural gift into a real-world mystery unfolding in the shadows of Salem, Massachusetts, where echoes of the infamous witch trials still linger. Skye McMahon sees things. Good and bad, the past unreels in her mind's eye like a movie. Such is Skye's uncanny life. That's why she's been summoned by Special Supervisory paranormal investigators Jackson and Angela Crowe to help solve a mystifying murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of historic Salem. Alicia Bolton discovered her grandfather-in-law murdered, her nanny and her young son have both vanished without a trace, and her infant daughter was found terrified and crying in her playpen. Skye, partnered with the intriguing Zachary Erickson, a charmer with a psychic touch, is at first beset only by visions of Salem's witch trials and the tragic, paranoia-fueled executions. Then she sets foot in the Boltons' house. What Skye sees is not another innocent from the 17th century swinging from a noose. What she sees is a bonafide crone, pointed hat and all, preying on the family like something from a children's nightmarish fairy tale. And when another local woman and her daughter inexplicably vanish, Sky has a second vision -- that same wicked witch creeping up on her new victims on a lonely Salem road. It's impossible to believe. Yet Sky's visions never lie. As Sky and Zachary put their otherworldly abilities to use, and grow closer with each revelation, they're lured into an ominous mystery enveloping Salem like a fog. Navigating suspects, whispers of a cult, and a sinister history that threatens to reignite in the present, with Zachary's help, only Skye can see the way to find the missing -- but first, she may have to dance with the devil himself."-- Inside book jacket flap.
