An hour after a severe earthquake rocks the Eastern seaboard, a video of Nobel Prizewinning physicist Peter Devon predicting the location and date of the earthquake goes viral. But Peter Devon has been dead for eight years. The FBIs best chance at finding an explanation is agent Jessica Blackwood. Raised as the rising star in a family dynasty of illusionists, Jessica has talent and experience that endow her with a gift for knowing when things are not always as they appear to be. Jessicas boss, Dr. Ailes, puts her on the case even though shes still recovering from a routine surveillance operation gone horribly wrong. When police discover a body that matches her description of the disturbed young woman who attacked her at the stakeout, Jessica is torn between professional duty and a personal desire to find out who this woman was, and why she was killed.The investigations pull her in very different directionsuntil they start to converge, leading Jessica to confront something so twisted, only one person could be behind it . . .The Warlock.
