More Description

Swan Temple, owner of The Phoenix Gallery, located in a downtown art district, possesses the artistic skill to create "living environments' on canvas and, as a white witch, the power to sing carefully selected subjects, who have not only lost hope, but also suffer debilitating injuries and diseases, into these spell-bound paintings.Once Swan sings these lonely people each into the enchantment of a world individually-designed for that person, their physical disabilities undergo a magical transformation. Her song also offers these subjects the opportunity to find, within layers of painted images, the miracle of living out their futures in healthy bodies.Sealed with Swan's song and signature, these canvases hang in the "Exhibit Only" section of The Phoenix Gallery. Within the enchanted boundaries of these canvases each person, missing from this world, is given the chance to live unencumbered by previous afflictions and disabilities. Swan, alone, possesses the ability to see in these vibrant paintings her subjects as living, breathing inhabitants.Detective Chase Logan, investigating the disappearance of these missing persons, becomes convinced that a serial killer is snatching disabled victims out of the art district's shadows. His growing suspicions, and bloodhound-like determination to uncover the truth, and his pursuit of this bewitching woman as a suspect, becomes a major complication to Swan's secret life as a witch and...her solitary life as a woman.
