The natives called them the 'Lost Girls'. They were German and French, Italian and Russian, Asian and American; young, beautiful women easily identified by a haunting tattoo burned onto their right cheek. While there had been sightings of these lost girls being driven through the rugged mountains of Hispaniola, none had ever escaped alive, leaving the secrets of their world intact. Stephanie Trahaney, a volunteer for the World Freedom Organization, had heard rumours of slave girls being trafficked to wealthy drug lords around the Caribbean. Determined to learn more, she sets out for the Dominican Republic to meet with a source willing to talk about the girls. When she goes missing and Rolly King George, detective sergeant of Jamaica's Special Constabulary Force, picks up the body of a young, blonde woman with the signature tattoo, floating off the island's coast, Sherry Moore is called. But when Sherry, the blind psychic renowned for her ability to see the last 18 seconds of a deceased person's memory, arrives in Jamaica to examine the body, all is not what it seems. The remains are not of Trahaney but of Jill Bishop, a 21-year-old American last seen in a bar in San Domingo's Colonial zone. Racked with grief but determined to know how her daughter died, Carol Bishop asks Sherry to take hold of Jill's hand. Sherry sets out on a frantic hunt for clues, from Santo Domingo where she must leave behind her friend and confidant, retired Admiral Garland Brigham, to the remote jungles of Haiti where she confronts a legendary voodoo priest, a man who has abilities eerily similar to her own.
