A thrilling blend of mystery, suspense, and family ties.
The feisty Szabo women are back in action, and this time, Annie Szabo is walking a dangerous tightrope to save her home and family. Her bold and audacious Gypsy mother-in-law, Madame Mina, is right by her side, using her mystical cures and curses to protect them. Together, they must uncover a killer hiding behind a web of secrets.
When Annie's close friend, Margo Spanger, a cultural icon known for her New Age cirque and women's shelter, is found dead, the investigation points to a number of dangerous suspects. From a mysterious trapeze artist to a power-hungry elite, Annie digs deep into Margo's tangled past, aided by an ex-cop and Mina's powerful plant remedies. But the killer is a master of disguise, and Annie's daughter could be the next target.
Can Annie solve the mystery before the killer strikes again? Or will the Szabo women become the next victims of this deadly illusion?
