Dr. Charlotte Stone has survived madness and murder since childhood. Now she uses her expertise in serial killer psychology and her ability to communicate with violent death spirits to help the FBI catch predators. Charlie wants to step back from the danger after nearly dying twice. She's caught between two men: federal agent Tony Bartoli, who keeps pulling her into risky missions, and Michael Garland, the roguish ghost she loves who needs her help to avoid the dark side of death. When beautiful single women start disappearing from Las Vegas hotels at night, all signs point to a psychopath hunting in Sin City. FBI agent Lena Kaminsky fears her missing sister fits the Cinderella Killer's type perfectly. Bartoli asks Charlie to help flush out the smooth talking stalker in a city of fast players and loose rules. To catch this killer, Charlie must return to the homicidal world she promised to leave behind, risking her life once more in a deadly game she might not survive.
