Aquarius Descending book by Martha C. Lawrence

Torn McGowan, Elizabeth's cop boyfriend asks her to take on a case that seems to be more in her line of work than in his. The father of Tom's ex-fiancée has come to him in He fears a mysterious package he's just received means that his daughter, who has disappeared into The Bliss Project, must be dead or in terrible trouble. Although Elizabeth is not too keen on the idea of accepting a case so close to home—she didn't even know Tom had an ex-fiancée, and The Bliss Project’s efforts at mind control threaten to wreak havoc on her finely attuned senses—she agrees to investigate. But infiltrating a cult is no easy matter, especially one that seems to have as many secrets as this one, and soon Elizabeth finds herself in a life-and-death battle that will lead to a shocking conclusion. “Just when you think you’ve seen everything, something new comes . . . and astounds you.” —The Dallas Morning News
