Strong and willful, born into the peak of the social ladder in Birmingham, Alabama, Zoe Von Buexhoveden has always had everything she thought she wanted. Until she was involved in a drunken driving accident, and does not realize that more was involved than alcohol, and more people were to blame than herself. She still thought she had the perfect life, when a small slip of the tongue turns everything upside down and sends her on a wild chase for the truth. Winding her way through lies all around her, and interwoven with the stories of six Alabama teenagers through her tinted lens, Zoe steadily grows to know the true meaning of life and honesty.
Secretary of State, Randall Tanner, was shocked when he read the Top Secret file discovered by one of his Ambassadors that revealed that the President was guilty of treason. After three agonizing days he decided that there was no other solution: The President had to die. Tanner initiated a plot to have President Ted Hoskins assassinated in a way that would make his death look like an accident. Fearing what she might know about the President's activities, the plotters also killed Hoskins' mistress, the Secretary of the Interior, Sarah Brewster. For five years it looked like they had gotten away with it, until Sarah's alcoholic husband found her diary including the details of her affair with the President. Broke, drunk and angry, the husband contacted an ex-CIA agent turned international affairs writer to ghost-write a book spilling all of Hoskins' dirty secrets, revelations that would raise questions that the conspirators couldn't afford to have asked. The killers quickly got rid of Sarah's husband, but by then the diary had fallen into the hands of his daughter, Allison, and the ghostwriter, Steve Grant. Barely one step ahead of the killers, Steve and Allison desperately search for Sarah's last hidden file that contains the whole story about the President, a file they have to find before the killers find them if they expect to have any hope of staying alive.
Raphael LaFontaine's parents were "root workers," hoodoo practitioners who sold potions, infusions, vapors and spells in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana. Both before and while she was pregnant with Raphael, Malina LaFontaine ingested the herbs and roots that were her and her husband's stock and trade. Perhaps as a result of this, from early childhood Raphael was afflicted with strange visions and fever dreams. He grew up considering himself a freak masquerading as a normal person, but his spells sometimes allowed him to see deeply into other people's emotions and personalities. Both a curse and a gift, these talents have served Rafe well, first as a Baltimore police officer and then as private detective. The story begins with a frayed-at-the-edges lawyer who asks Rafe to help his client with a simple matter, a hard to get rid of ex-boyfriend who also happens to be a Baltimore cop. When Rafe sets out to meet his new client he is attacked and when he wakes up he finds that nothing is what it had seemed, and that he is suspected of murdering a complete stranger. Rafe soon becomes even more deeply entangled in a confusing web of lies and murder.
