Washington, D.C., 1864.The Civil War is dragging to a bloody close, and the citizens are weary of the conflict. For entertainment, they go to the theater to see Joseph and his father read their minds. It's all an elaborate hoax, of course. But Joseph enjoys the limelight--and the chance to share the stage with such famous actors as John Wilkes Booth. Then he meets a girl who truly is clairvoyant. And she's had terrifying premonitions of an attack on President Lincoln.

Rich in Dickensian flavor and packed with fascinating historical details, Second Sight is a tour de force that will have readers breathlessly turning the pages.
