Two of Vera Wyndom's neighbors, young Elena Perez and her baby, have disappeared and Vera's Tarot cards tell her they are in terrible danger. Vera wonders if their disappearance and the repeated attacks on herself are related to a predatory land developer's efforts to knock down her tightly knit Denver neighborhood for a big box store's parking lot. Meanwhile, Vicente, her third and favorite ex-husband, wants her back, and Gerry Morrison across the street is suffering from a mysterious disease. Unfortunately, Vera's Tarot cards are giving her only cryptic answers to her questions, and Denver police Detective Duane Mangione can do little to help her. So, with the aid of Vicente, her neighbors, and a runaway teenager, she sets out to discover the answers herself from the skyscrapers of Denver to the migrant worker camps of southern Colorado.
