The power to read minds sounds great, but what can you really do with it? Alex Templeman has decided that the best way to make money and avoid dissection is to work as a stage psychic. No one believes he's real, but no one can explain how he does his routine, and that's the way he likes it.
Right up until Angela walks onto the stage and not only believes in him, she believes he's the only one who can help her. From that point on, Alex is caught in a web of his own devising, trying to save his professional reputation while fighting off the attacks from Professor Barry Glasspool, a man determined to unmask him as the fraud he really isn't. Angela is in real danger, but Alex can't help her with Barry threatening his livlihood and even his liberty.
And besides, Angela has a reason to be afraid. The men who murdered her boyfriend really are out looking for her, and it doesn't take a mindreader to guess what their intentions are.
