Astrologer detective David Lowell’s most difficult case begins with a man, a briefcase and a challenge. Dr. Ethan Williamson promises a briefcase containing one million dollars if Lowell can find the twin brother of the doctor’s teenage son in time for a life-saving kidney transplant. Thanks to an exceedingly rare blood type, there are no other viable donors and time is running out for the doctor’s son. Aided by his staff—spitfire assistant Sarah, psychic hacker Mort and bodyguard Andy—Lowell sets out to find the twin and the mother, who have been missing since the birth of the boys. As Lowell digs deeper into the investigation, it’s evident he needs legal advice in a case that’s shaping up to be an ethical quagmire. Lowell enlists the legal counsel of his daughter Melinda, an attorney and prize astrology student. As more comes to light, will Lowell be able to find the missing twin in time to save Williamson’s son? Or do the stars foresee a more tragic end for this case?
