A Cuban logging company discovers a priceless Egyptian opal sealed deep within a downed tree, hidden from the world for at least 1,000 years - centuries before Columbus explored the region. Matt Turner grew up witnessing first-hand the worst crimes imaginable. At age 9, he discovered his psychic ability - psychometry - enabling him to "read" the emotional imprints people leave on objects. Against better judgment, his police detective father used his son's talent to help him solve crimes. Now 26, Matt seems the obvious choice to extract the mysterious opal's history, and an enemy he thought long gone isn't offering a choice in the matter. In Book Two of the series, the stakes are raised higher than anything Matt has previously encountered, and the fallout will change him for the rest of his life.
