Her destiny lies in the cards…
Fifteen-year-old Melanie Simpson uncovers a secret her father held for twenty years—material he smuggled out from a crashed UFO near Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 and has hidden somewhere. Now he is dead, killed by a Russian agent after it. Melanie has found it, and along with it, the interest of dangerous men who will do anything to get it from her.
She also learns of a device given to her father by a dying alien at the crash site. In a letter left behind he tells of a quest, and that if she is reading this letter, he is dead and it is now up to her to finish it.
She knows the device and quest must be connected, but where is it? With the help of her friends she searches for clues, all while facing the dangers of those after her. Then, a tarot card reading discloses even more—a link to the stars and a destiny revealed within the cards.
Set against a historical backdrop of UFO sightings, events, and government cover-ups, Melanie is driven toward that destiny. With each step she falls deeper into a world of lies, deceit, doubts about her sanity, increasing danger, and possible death.

An exciting teenage thriller set in the 1960s. Spies, UFOs, cover ups, and much more. There’s a rising tension throughout the book, and the ending had me gasping for breath.
