Description

On a weekend break in the Mojave, psychic investigator Mason stumbles across the story of a bygone journalist, Geraldine, who expired in the desert on her way to one of the early flying saucer meet-ups. Unable to shake the pointlessness of the tragic tale, Mason trades a favor with his psychic-world mentor, Hanh, who sends him to the East Coast to attend a wedding where he doesn't know anyone. Wracked with guilt about his role in disrupting the event, Mason grapples with the cost of intervening in Geraldine's life, and gains new resolve to change the outcome.

With help from his mid-century friends Billy and Flattop, and with the unflagging support of his boyfriend, Ned, and their roommate, Peggy, Mason shifts to Geraldine's era, and on a long road trip to Landers, manages to rearrange things enough to shake the foundations of his own timeline.

Reviews

Every foray by Church's wonderful psychic detective Mason Braithwaite is a truly suspenseful page-turner in the most unusual crime series ever, and certainly one that no aficionado of crime fiction should miss. -David Osborn, author of the best-selling Cold War thrillers The French Decision and Love and Treason

Mason is a hero like none who have come before him: a sensitive, queer P.I. whose only weapon is his intuition. This book turns the detective genre on its head and makes you think about the ninety percent of your brain you're not using. -Teja Watson, author of Attic.doc

Church vividly constructs a world peopled with characters I did not want to leave behind when I finished the book. -an Amazon reader

Thanks to Christopher Church for giving us another exciting and well written adventure with one of my new heroes. -Amos Lassen

Another fast-paced ride through Los Angeles by Church, who continues to reinvent and reinvigorate Mason Braithwaite, keeping the Paranormal Mystery Series relevant and entertaining. Church's writing is vivid, the worlds he creates believable, and his characters have a breadth of humanity, strength, and vulnerability that makes the series a fun-filled, page-turning adventure. -Jeremy Randolph, author of The Mural
