Anne Silver turns to her ex-CIA agent ex-boyfriend when her brother is very nearly murdered while trying to expose a clever gang of fake psychics. But working side by side with Julian Aries puts more than her life on the line — her heart may just be the first thing to go.

Only a short synopsis was found, so three readers say….
I have to label it as a better one from short novels by Krentz. The heroine was not unnervingly naive and the hero was more than a bit uncertain, which was refreshing and rather pleasant, for a change. They deal together with hero’s illness and the fraud ghost hunters in a typical manner. Typical for Krentz, that is.

A gang of thieves, posing as ghost hunters, has put Anne Silver’s brother in the hospital. Anne and her sister in law make a plan to catch them, but she realizes she may need the help of her ex boyfriend, an ex CIA agent Julian Aries. She tracks him down as he is recovering from his last assignment in the jungle. What she finds turns out to be more than she can handle in more ways, than one. The mystery is very good as they try to unravel who all the players are. Ms. Krentz always writes a good book filled with danger, and romance. I loved the surprise ending. Julian had it worked out way in advance, but things still took a twist even he was unprepared for. I loved the ghost in this story as well, and her secret. Good read!

Did not age well. Hero is kind of a dick. Very late 80’s
