Off the Florida Keys, a professional deep sea diving team seeks to locate the Marie Josephine, a nineteenth century vessel that sunk nearby allegedly with a fortune in pirate booty. One of the team members experienced diver Genevieve Wallace notices what appears to be a dead woman floating at about fifty feet below the surface. However, no one else see the corpse and other dives in the vicinity prove fruitless.

Fellow diver Thor Thompson not only scoffs at her claim, he does not trust her as he believes she is a phony glory hound. However, he admits he also is attracted to her while Josephine feels the same way much to her chagrin as he has been nasty. However, he changes his mind when he finds Gen soaked with seawater that should not be on her let alone near her or inside her room. When another woman is found dead, Thor knows Gen was telling the truth that she saw a corpse, but now fears a killer is murdering females even as his beloved is beginning to "see" clearly what no one else can see.

Heather Graham is at her best with this excellent paranormal romantic suspense thriller that grips readers from the moment of the first sighting and never slows down until the final confrontation. The action-packed storyline is enhanced by the wonderfully interwoven description of the area and a strong support cast including those seemingly from beyond. The lead couple is an excellent pairing as their relationship metamorphoses once Thor begins to give into his desire and totally alters as he believes Gen. This is quite a pleasurable treat for sub-genre readers.
