Missouri, the Show-Me State, is home to a diverse population, including. The Psychic Circle, a for-profit collection of not-very-talented psychics, overseen by Helene, their extra-perceptive manager. Jasper, a Native American undercover agent who once trusted only what his five senses revealed. A precocious six-year-old, Sylvester the Scion. The 90-year-old Shakespeare Club, an ensemble of senior citizens who keep their secrets close to home, and give Possum Billy the opportunity to know Gerry, a lady whosees more than she tells. And ruthless killers. Untangling the affairs leading to murder often demands more than one mind, andmore than one way of seeing. Especially when there are enough decades-old secrets greed, hatred and intrigue to fill the pages of a book. Amid such evil passions, may tender feelings emerge?
