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