The killer who targeted her sister is gone. Cici thought the nightmares would stop.
They haven't.
When a bruised, bloodied woman appears in Cici's dreams ? a woman who looks alarmingly like her ? Cici writes it off as grief. Then a missing baby turns up on her porch, and the case in her nightmare begins to look disturbingly real. The victim dies before Cici and Detective Sam Chastain can reach her. Pinned to her blouse: a message. "You're next."
Anna Carmen's ghost has been warning Cici for weeks. Cici just wasn't listening.
In the award-winning series that Kirkus Reviews calls "thoroughly enjoyable" and Darynda Jones calls "a breathtaking tale" ? the next chapter of Cici Gurule's story is her most dangerous yet.
