While working a smuggling case for Astute Investigations, Denver detective Wil Bregon is drawn to San Francisco's rollicking Barbary Coast. Formerly an Eastern lawyer and experienced gun for hire, Wil's not daunted by outlaws and ruffians or prowling foggy dockside taverns. But he isn't prepared for ghostly visitations from his dead wife or finding himself powerfully attracted to a young blonde who bears a noticeable resemblance to his late spouse. Harmonie Ashlar is a charlatan, a girl with a local reputation for staging pranks for monetary gain. Is she purposely masquerading as Wil's deceased wife as part of some confidence scheme? Has someone paid her to threaten Wil's sanity, or is his own imagination playing tricks on him, in an eerie, inexplicable Sleight of Mind? Wil Bregon seems to be everything Harmonie has always yearned for: a man who's handsome, resourceful, rugged, and shrewd. He's also deeply troubled—and there is someone watching the pair. Someone willing to do anything to keep them apart. Caught in a web of deceit, can Harmonie and Wil escape the danger looming over them and the lingering phantom of Wil's turbulent past?
