Detective Duran thinks he's searching for a missing woman. He soon finds out he's pursuing the last remaining evidence of a CIA cover up. The police are looking for Velma Bloom, a young woman who has gone missing. All that's left of her is her car parked in front of a house containing two dead Russian men. Velma is a twenty-five year old woman who loves her life of booze, sex, and cigarettes. But this sassy, over-educated waitress has a secret-a strange ability she's never been able to understand. Answers come unexpectedly and from an unexpected source. Armed with her new knowledge, she sees her way to forging a new future. She only has one obstacle-making sure she stays alive. Now she has vanished, and rookie detective Jackson Duran is trying to find her. She hasn't left many traces, and everything Duran discovers about her only complicates his search. What he does learn leads him to some sinister truths he never thought he'd know, and would rather not know.
