Elizabeth Palmer thought the worst was behind her. A year after nearly dying in the attempted St. Paul's Cathedral bombing in London, she has rebuilt her life. Her paintings earn praise. She feels optimistic again. Then someone tries to kill her three times in quick succession. MI-5 joins the investigation to discover who wants Elizabeth dead and why her survival from the terrorist attack makes her a target. Meanwhile, twelve-year-old Autumn Backman reluctantly takes a summer job watching Tash Navarro, a bullied boy staying with his uncle. Tash's father Archer has vanished during his European honeymoon, suspected of embezzling from his firm. Both children possess psychic gifts, and Tash believes his father needs rescue. Autumn contacts FBI agent Dillon Savich for help. Elizabeth flies to Washington seeking Savich and his partner Sherlock. She gets protection from Special Agent Rome Foxe instead. As deadly pursuers close in, Elizabeth and Rome race to stay alive while uncovering the connection between a failed bombing, missing money, and the people who refuse to let the past stay buried.
