Sinker Crenshaw, privileged son of a game show host, is recovering from his mother's suicide when he falls precipitously in love with the enigmatic Tara Charles. Romance turns suddenly to nightmare, hurling Sinker and his pal, streetwise astrologer Plato Mims, into a desperate race against time, an ever-tightening net of calculated illusions, and the long arm of the law. The stars are right for astrologer Steven Forrest's mystery debut.-Publishers Weekly.
