Publisher's summary

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

An unlikely pair teams up to investigate a brutal murder in a haunting thriller that walks the line between reality and impossibility.

When small-town police officers discover the grave of a young boy, they’re quick to pin the crime on a convicted criminal who lives nearby. But when it comes to murder, Officer Susan Marlan never trusts a simple explanation, so she’s just getting started.

Meanwhile, college professor Eric Evans hallucinates a young boy in overalls: a symptom of his schizophrenia - or so he thinks. But when more bodies turn up, Eric has more visions, and they mirror details of the murder case. As the investigation continues, the police stick with their original conclusion, but Susan’s instincts tell her something is off. The higher-ups keep stonewalling her, and the FBI’s closing in.

Desperate for answers, Susan goes rogue and turns to Eric for help. Together they take an unorthodox approach to the case as the evidence keeps getting stranger. With Eric’s hallucinations intensifying and the body count rising, can the pair separate truth from illusion long enough to catch a monster?

Outstanding reader, great mystery

Haunting and ghosts are not usually my thing but I have to highly recommend this book! The way the characters are all brought in makes it believable. I also love the two protagonists, Eric and Susan. I will be looking for more books about them by this author in the future. I hope they team up for more great who-done it’s like this, which was a fun puzzle to solve with an exciting conclusion. Also can’t say enough great things about this amazing reader.

Fantastic

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The story and the plot twisted and turned and kept you guessing until the end. The narration was exceptional as well! Definitely looking forward to seeing more from this author.

Predictable

I don’t understand the “didn’t see that ending coming” reviews. I saw it coming pretty early on. It was almost painfully obvious.

Cannot stop listening!

I'm not quite done this book yet, but I cannot stop listening. I wasn't expected the paranormal aspect to it, but once I got into it, I rode the wave!

Wordy

Above average story. I have very little negative to say. What I did feel was that the author used ten word to say what could have been said in 4-5 words and still not lost the flow.

Schizophrenia medicated is a truly recoverable experience!

I found this a great basis for a story complicated by a complete betrayal of wife and family-moving and starting over a roller coaster of emotions.
