Sinopse

Charles Deschamps, the Paris couturier, was going to bring down necklines in his next collection and one man knew about it six months ahead of time. Foreknowledge of a fact like that is all a good consultant needs to make him dream dreams and see visions: dreams of idleness and sybaritic luxury, and visions tinted uniformly green, like the folding money which alone can make such dreams come true. Even if it's not exactly ethical. Or legal.

But when she has no choice but to explore them, she may just wish she hadn’t.  With the FBI, police and local horticulturalists stumped, it’s up to Taylor to connect the dots. But as Taylor’s marriage crumbles around her and she struggles to connect with her new partner, she’s under more pressure than ever to find this killer—before he finds her first. Could the tarot reader’s clue provide a spark of inspiration? Or will this case be Taylor’s last?
    
    In DON’T FLINCH (Book #4), when the tarot reader gives Taylor a mysterious clue—a landmark from her childhood—Taylor races to put the pieces together, unearthing long-buried secrets along the way. Her determination to uncover a new lead upsets her family and vexes her partner—but Taylor knows that finding her sister is worth any price. But is everything really as it seems? Or is someone toying with her?   
    
    A complex psychological crime thriller full of twists and turns and packed with heart-pounding suspense, the TAYLOR SAGE mystery series will make you fall in love with a brilliant new female protagonist and keep you turning pages late into the night.
