When I hear the name, Kay Hooper, I automatically think of telepaths and empaths, psychics and mediums, clairevoyants. This is as close as I get to the paranormal ..not a shape shifter or vampire anywhere in sight. There is usually a bit of romance in her books. I have enjoyed them all immensely.

In a very small town in Tennessee, people are disappearing. Not only going missing, but seemingly disappearing into thin air. First it's two teenagers, eloping. Then a judge.

That's when the local sheriff calls in this very special branch of the FBI, whose agents all have one gift or another.

The agents are stymied .. and then a housewife goes missing. A 10-year-old child disappears in the middle of the night .. under the sight of a camera.

The secret to this mystery lies in what single connection they all have.

The suspense becomes more strained when a police office officer is murdered. The town is terrified and no one seems to be safe.

As with all Kay Hooper's book, I really enjoyed this one. There are several twists and turns leading away from outer space theories straight into the real here and now. Since I am not a psychic, I had no idea where this was going ... which makes the reading a lot more interesting.

I would recommend this one to anyone who likes the elements of magic, suspense and lots of surprises.
