[Alexandra Best PI 02] • Illusions

The luxury cruise was the reward for a job well done, or so Private Investigator Alexandra Best had planned.

What she hadn't envisaged was meeting Leanora, an elderly psychic who warned her of an impending death.

Leanora herself is the victim of her own prophecy, and when her daughter, Moira, begs Alex to investigate she is forced to reveal that someone has been stalking both mother and daughter.

Unwillingly taking on the case, Alex soon discovers that Leanora was not the harmless, ethereal old woman she appeared to be, but had planned, with Moira, elaborate blackmailing scams involving people in high places.

Then Moira, too, is murdered, and the search for the killer responsible for the murder of both women brings Alex herself to the brink of disaster…

With the number of victims rising, Best must enter the strange world of the psychic to answer her questions before the murderer strikes again.

For PI Best, this is a strange case where nothing is what it seems…
