An unexpected psychic reading at trendy ANGEL CAFE confirms Katerina Piretti's belief that her fiance, reporter Peter Dulaney, did not commit suicide two years earlier. Compelled to learn the truth behind Peter's death, Kat ventures into the world of fortune-telling. In the process, she ends up trying to prove her suspicion that Tia Melody, Angel Cafe's all too accurate psychic reader, is nothing but a fraud. Maybe she'll figure out why Stephen Carmichael, Angel Cafe's sceptical owner, has started receiving unexplained 'messages' that seem to shed light on Peter's death. However, the most intriguing of all, is the question that Kat neither expects or wants to answer: What if Valentine, the entity Tia claims to channel, is not fictional after all? Despite her own scepticism, Kat finds herself in a battle for survival against a foe whose reach stretches far beyond the lace curtains and whimsical memorabilia of ANGEL CAFE.
