Sinossi

KALEIDOSCOPIC pictures of last night's party presented themselves between myself and the ceiling. One or two faces— one of them was certainly Sammy's face, the other that of an attractive woman— flashed across my memory. I felt a little sick and did not want particularly to think about them. In fact I did not want to think about anything.
You wouldn't get any funny ideas about me, would you? You wouldn't come to the conclusion that I was just another of those people who've become bored with the war and try to "sublimate" their annoyance by getting cockeyed all the time? I'm not a bit like that. But— and I think I should point this out now— when one has been in the sort of racket that I've been playing around in for the last few years, it's a very good thing for a man to relax occasionally— if you get me— just to stop himself going entirely nuts.

    Fortunetellers. Demotivational speakers. Disillusioned shapeshifters. 
    You never know quite who -- or what -- you'll run into in Psychic City, but that's what makes life interesting for a PsyOps agent. Penny is a spirit medium hounded by hordes of undead fans, Karen is an empath who spends most of her time hiding beneath an oversized hoodie, and Viv is an eideticist with prophetic visions, a photographic memory, and a lot of baggage she'd just as soon forget. They might not always know exactly what they're doing, but when they're working together to investigate paranormal crime, they get results. 
    That's until a string of murders targets the city's psychic population, hitting a little close to home and putting the trio of detectives to the ultimate test.
