Anna Gareau came to Victoria B.C. with two secrets. One was an unregistered pistol she was delivering from an antique dealer in Seattle to a collector on the Island. The other was something she couldn't even name, a strange talent that allowed her to touch things and feel the emotions and memories their owners had left behind.
Her plan was to come to town, get the job done and leave... but when a woman was drowned in the pool room of Anna's hotel, Anna told dangerous lies to protect her secrets and wound up part of the murder investigation.
Collie Kostyna came to Victoria to uncover a few secrets. Her best friend, Jocelyn, worked for The Rail, a news magazine headquartered in Victoria. Jocelyn had phoned Collie to complain about the magazine's staff. They were behaving strangely, committing unmotivated crimes. One had committed suicide.
Jocelyn had a theory that her office was under attack and she wanted to tell Collie the details. Minutes before Jocelyn and Collie were supposed to meet, Jocelyn was found dead in a hotel swimming pool.
Led by circumstances to investigate together, Anna and Collie find themselves in a world of arrogant magicians and unchecked power, confronted with secret talents that Anna finds uncomfortably familiar. By the time they've solved the crime, it has become the least of their concerns.
