Hired by a developer to dowse a lonely forested valley in upstate New York, Cassandra Brooks happens upon a girl hanged from a tree. When she returns with the authorities, the body has vanished, leaving in question Cassandra's sanity. The next day, a dazed, mute girl emerges from the woods, alive and giving uncanny credence to Cassandra's terrifying vision.
Increasingly bizarre divinations ensue, leading this struggling single mother of twin boys back to a past she'd long thought was behind her. Soon Cassandra is locked in a mortal chess match with a real-life killer who has returned from the past to haunt her once more. The Diviner's Tale is at once a journey of self-discovery and a murder mystery, a bittersweet family chronicle and tale of the fantastic.
