Ericka Chesterfield, first daughter of Dean and Yasui Chesterfield, is about to open her new office. She's Rochester, New York's only psychic detective, and her partner, Pretzel the imp, is ready to help. Set in 2039, cars drive themselves, computer monitors slip over the eyes, and the Foundation is more paranoid then ever that regular people will learn about the supernatural. Things go a bit wrong on her first day. Oversleeping because Pretzel messed with her alarm is bad enough. But that pales when she finds that dead man in her office. Her locked office. That no one saw him enter. But even worse than that? There's only one suspect in the murder. Her.
