Meet London architect Kate Benedict, whose life spins out of control when suddenly, she sees a dancing aura above certain people’s heads that seems to signal death. Suddenly she’s psychic? It can't be! Psychic’s not acceptable in her circle, where the supernatural is strictly for the superstitious. And yet…people are dying. People close to her. 

Kate's tentative attempts to talk about her new-found gift are met with eyerolls, so much so that she can’t even bring herself to tell the nice Scotland Yard detective, who's investigating the death of a close friend, Rebecca Williams. And now Rebecca’s neighbor has an aura.

Reasonable Kate tries to harness supernatural abilities she not only doesn't understand, she doesn't even believe in.  This new, fresh female sleuth leads us on an international mystery that begins and, in some ways, ends in Italy.
