  A haunting murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of Salem, Massachusetts, sends two people with unique talents hunting for answers from both the past and present in internationally bestselling author Heather Graham’s electrifying new Krewe of Hunters spin-off for fans of Stephen King, Jayne Ann Krentz, Riley Sager, and Simone St. James. 
    
  Skye McMahon sees things. Good and bad, the past unreels in her mind’s eye like a movie. That’s why she’s been summoned by Special Supervisory paranormal investigators Jackson and Angela Crowe, to help solve a mystifying murder and kidnapping on the outskirts of historic Salem. 
    
  Alicia Bolton discovered her grandfather-in-law murdered, her nanny and her young son have both vanished without a trace, and her infant daughter was found terrified and crying in her playpen. Skye, partnered with Zachary Erickson, a charmer with a psychic touch, is at first beset only by visions of Salem’s witch trials and the tragic, paranoia-fueled executions. Then she sets foot in the Bolton’s house. 
    
  What Skye sees is not another innocent from the 17th century swinging from a noose, but a bona fide crone, pointed hat and all, preying on the family like something from a nightmarish fairy tale. And when another local woman and her daughter inexplicably vanish, Skye has a second vision—that same witch creeping up on new victims on a lonely Salem road. It’s impossible to believe. Yet Skye’s visions never lie. 
    
  As Skye and Zachary grow closer, they’re lured into a mystery enveloping Salem like a fog. Navigating suspects, whispers of a cult, and a sinister history that threatens to reignite, with Zachary’s help, only Skye can see the way to find the missing—but first, she may have to dance with the devil himself.
