Miriam Black is trying to live an ordinary life, keeping her ability
to see how someone dies hidden...until a serial killer crosses her path.
This is the second book in the Miriam Black series.
"Visceral and often brutal, this tale vibrates with emotional rawness
that helps to paint a bleak, unrelenting picture of life on the edge."
--Publishers Weekly
Miriam is trying. Really, she is. But this whole "settling down thing"
just isn't working out.
She lives on Long Beach Island all year in a run-down, double-wide
trailer. She works at a grocery store as a checkout girl. And her
relationship with Louis--who's on the road half the time in his
truck--is subject to the mood swings Miriam brings to everything she
does. It just isn't going well.
Still, she's keeping her psychic ability--to see when and how someone is
going to die just by touching them--in check. But even that feels wrong
somehow. Like she's keeping a tornado stopped up in a tiny bottle. Then
comes the one bad day that turns it all on her ear.
