Description
Séance on a Wet Afternoon is a gripping crime novel about a struggling psychic who kidnaps a child in a desperate bid for notoriety. Myra Savage, a woman with genuine psychic abilities, has no patience for the fake tricks of her fellow psychics. To gain the attention of the psychic community, she concocts a plan with her husband, Bill, to snatch a six-year-old girl from her schoolyard and demand a ransom. As the citywide panic sets in, Myra will lead the police to the girl and the money, ensuring her name becomes synonymous with her supposed psychic powers. But when a criminal can see the future, the consequences of this plan are far from certain. This tense and suspenseful thriller explores the darker side of human nature and the lengths people will go to for fame. Mark McShane's 1964 novel has been adapted into a well-regarded film and opera, cementing its place in the world of crime fiction.
