An amnesiac, a mysterious ancient book, and a grisly murder ... Professional skeptic and investigator Cassandra Livingstone finds herself thrust into a house of mirrors where nothing is as it seems. When she stumbles upon a long-lost diary tied to a series of brutal murders spanning centuries, alleged to infect the mind of anyone who reads it, Cassie's instincts tell her that it's a hoax. But her long-time mentor, Igor "Iggy" Stronovsky, clearly takes it seriously. Is his objectivity jeopardized by a mistake in his past, or does he know something she doesn't? When the bodies keep turning up, Cassie finds there's no one she can trust and she could be the killer's next target. But as Cassie begins to unravel the ancient clues, all the evidence points to an uncomfortable conclusion.
