Clouded Vision

Clouded Vision by Linwood Barclay. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781409121251.

Keisha Ceylon is a psychic. At least, thats what she passes herself off as. The truth is, Keishas real powers have more to do with separating troubled families from their money than actually seeing into the netherworld. Keisha watches the news for stories of missing family members. She gives it a few days, then moves in, tells these families shes had a vision, that she may have some clue to where these missing people are. And by the way, she charges for this service, and likes to see the money up front. Keishas latest mark is a man whose wife disappeared a week ago. Shes seen him on TV, pleading for his wife to come home, or, if shes been abducted, pleading with whoever took her to let her go. Keisha knows a payoff when she sees one. So she pays a visit to our troubled husband, tells him her vision. Trouble is, her vision just happens to be close enough to the truth that it leaves this man rattled. And it may very well leave Keisha dead.
