Vicious Circle

Sent from Brisbane, Australia, to New Zealand to track down possible murder victim Claire Lomax’s last known contact, Detective Sergeant Declan Kelly’s search leads him through the flesh-pots of Auckland's infamous Karangahape Road, to the remnants of a former commune on the scenic Coromandel Peninsula, and finally to Christchurch, where his trail meets that being followed by the Psychic Connection panel.

Their combined investigations, which bring unexpected romance for Kelly and panel member Isabel Sinclair, culminate in a dramatic confrontation at a disused country church, headquarters of self-styled spiritual teacher Bob Ferris’s increasingly bizarre efforts to bring about the birth of the New Aeon.
