The Psychic Tourist by William Little
PUBLISHED ON 7TH MAY 2009 BY ICON BOOKS
Can people really see into the future? Can someone's life be predicted? Are physicists on the verge of discovering the first time machine? And why does a Nobel prize-winning scientist believe that humans are capable of sensing danger before it happens?
Following a prediction of his sister’s death, William Little sets out to find the truth about the power of fortune telling and prophecy. On a journey that takes him to a witches’ coven in a haunted wood, on the hunt for murderers with psychic detectives and to the doorsteps of the world’s most powerful and revered psychics, William Little goes on a desperate quest to find out whether people can see into the future – or if the many millions who consult horoscopes, listen to psychics on TV, or who read Nostradamus are simply being sold a lie.
Through a rollercoaster ride of mystics, mishaps and mayhem, he discovers uncomfortable facts that make him reassess his beliefs. In a book that answers the unanswerable about what science, psychics, and crystal balls can reveal about tomorrow, William Little lifts the lid on the most sought-after destination of them all – the future.

I couldn't find a way to tell the author, so posting here and Amazon review. Great read... many interesting turns and history of psychics, and many laugh out loud places. Nice tour of woo-woo future telling!
