An elaborately woven novel of intrigue about one of America's most curious and enduring legends -- the enigma of the Lady in Blue.
In Los Angeles, Jennifer Narody has been having a series of disturbing dreams involving eerie images of a woman dressed in blue. What she doesn't know is that this same spirit appeared to leaders of the Jumano Native American tribe in New Mexico 362 years earlier, and was linked to a Spanish nun capable of powers of "bilocation", or ability to be in two places simultaneously.
Meanwhile, young journalist Carlos Albert is driven by a blinding snowstorm to the small Spanish town of Agreda, where he stumbles upon a nearly forgotten 17th century convent founded by the same legendary woman. Intrigued by her rumoured prowess, he delves into finding out more.
These threads, linked by an apparent suicide, eventually lead Carlos to Cardinal Baldi, to an American spy, and ultimately to Los Angeles, where Jennifer Narody unwittingly holds the key to the mystery that the Catholic Church, the US Defence Department, and the journalist are each determined to decipher -- the Lady in Blue.
