Curator Jillian Talbot has a Second-Sight--an ESP that lets her see into the distant pasts of relics, artifacts. Retired tomb-raider Simon Bonner--entrusted with an ancient crystal lens he doesn't want and a death-threat he doesn't need--learns Jillian is the only woman who can divine this lens's purpose. Jillian's eyes can "read" the lens, and the lens sharpens and broadens her Second-Sight. Glyphs carved on the lens lead her and Simon to Mexico to find a mythic treasure. As murderous criminals pursue them, Jillian and Simon discover romance, passion, and heroism.
