What Double Take is about
Julia Ransom is still reeling from the brutal murder of her husband, the renowned psychic August Ransom, more than six months ago. The media frenzy that followed wore her down. Then, on San Francisco's Pier 39, a respectable-looking man draws her into conversation and throws her over the railing. Special Agent Cheney Stone, stretching his legs between courses at a nearby restaurant, pulls her from the water.
Cheney suspects the attack is tied to August's death. He reopens the investigation and sets out to keep Julia safe. A parallel story unfolds in Maestro, Virginia, where Sheriff Dixon Noble, familiar to readers of Point Blank, still mourns his vanished wife, Christie. A suspense novel with grief running underneath, it pairs a woman in danger with the agent who refuses to look away.
