Publisher Description

Investigative consultant Sherry Moore is blind and stunningly beautiful, with the extraordinary ability to see the deceased's last 18 seconds of memory by touching the corpse. A head injury at age five left her without sight and prevented her from remembering her past. When Sherry discovers she has the sight, she learns to use her gift to help others solve mysteries that only she can tap into.

Serial killer Earl Sykes was never caught for his vicious murders. Instead, a deadly traffic accident landed him in prison. Now almost 30 years later, he returns to the seaside town of Wildwood, New Jersey, and to abducting young female victims for his gruesome games.

Wildwood police lieutenant Kelly O'Shaughnessy is stymied over the disappearance of young women. When an old man's untimely death leads Sherry Moore to Wildwood, O'Shaughnessy's desperation forces her to accept Sherry's help, but not without consequence. As the two women join forces to discover the killer's identity, they unwittingly become the hunted, marching deeper with every step into the monster's lair.

A law enforcement veteran himself, George Shuman packs a realistic style and authentic investigative detail into this taunt tale filled with pulse pounding tension that will send listeners right to the edge.

"This was a really good thriller and my first read by this author. I enjoyed the fact that the story took place in my home state of New Jersey. I also loved the heroine Sherry Moore whose blindness didn't keep her from solving the crime with Lt. Shaugnessy. A wonderful edge of your seat thriller. "

    " Mostly a 4 because it's a debut novel and I think if he continues along this path, he'll soon rate all 5s as an author. Really well done and gripping. I especially like that the blind woman is not a caricature or a super hero, although she is amazingly determined. Can't wait for more! "

    " ATING: 3.0 WHY: A blind woman has the ability to see the last 18 seconds of a person’s life when she touches them, which comes in quite handy for homicide situations. An interesting premise which was under-developed. Pretty standard fare other than that hook. "

    " Intriguing premise of a blind psychic who can "see" the last 18 seconds of a dead person's life. A series to watch. "
