“A rich, fast-paced plot with fascinating characters and a glimpse into Gypsy traditions.” —Library Journal, starred review

The unstoppable Szabo women are back, ready to dive into yet another thrilling—and deadly—adventure.

Annie Szabo's latest discovery is Jimmy Qi, a musical prodigy with the power to heal. His talent is awe-inspiring and his charisma undeniable, making him an overnight sensation in San Francisco. But fame comes with a price, and soon Jimmy becomes the target of dangerous forces, each with their own agenda. From a determined evangelist to a vengeful ex-hero, shadowy criminal tongs, and even a mysterious CDC doctor, everyone wants a piece of Jimmy's gift.

With the help of her bold Gypsy mother-in-law, Madame Mina, Annie is determined to protect Jimmy from those seeking to exploit him. As bodies pile up, they find themselves in a high-stakes chase through Chinatown’s New Year celebrations and up the foggy California coast, pursued by eccentric twins and a relentless FBI agent.
