'Riveting and atmospheric, a taut and brilliantly plotted mystery that gripped me from the start and held me captive through every twist and turn.' —Kimi Cunningham Grant, USA Today bestselling author of These Silent Woods and The Nature of Disappearing

Two missing women. A drowned psychic. A daughter desperate for answers.

Cheyenne Mitchell is back in her hometown of Tehachapi, California, and spending long, slow days in a strip mall along the highway, running her mother’s New Age store. Her mother, author and TV psychic Johanna Vincent, died nearly twenty years ago, not long after the community was rocked by the disappearance and suspected killing of another woman—a popular young teacher at the local high school.

Cheyenne, herself an agnostic when it comes to the supernatural, has spent years grasping for closure, trying to escape the pain of her past. Yet when another teenager goes missing, Cheyenne can't look away. Why does this case feel so familiar, and why can't she shake the sense that the answer lies with her late mother?

As her quest takes her from abandoned mines out in the desert and up foggy mountain switchbacks, Cheyenne finds that raising the dead is no longer a parlor trick; all that was once hidden comes back to life—and very well might end hers.
