profession, but the world of academia
holds few rewards for practitioners of the
unconventional discipline of parapsychol-
ogy. After a pioneering breakthrough

behavior modification, Jasper is lured
away from his English university research
labs and from his bright, dedicated
assistant, Becky Ryan into the more
lucrative world of business speculation at
Costigan Futures.
When Jasper disappears from his new
Southern California home, however,
Becky doesn t need psychic ability to sense
foul play. She teams up with investigative
journalist Andrew Taggart to get the
answers behmd Jasper s disappearance
or death. Along the way they run afoul of
the masterminds behind Costigan Futures,
who arc out to ensure that the political, as
well as the financial, world of the future
matches their "predictions." If Taggart can
get the story behind the sinister complex ol
psychics, businessmen, and stock market
manipulators, his future reputation will be
assured. All Becky wants to know is that
Jasper is still alive
In this sophisticated thriller, Ruth
Brandon questions the very real applica-
tion of psychic prediction in an unpredic-
table world.
