Dr. Jessica Coran, Medical Examiner and forensic profiler is called in on a case in Marietta, Georgia to help track down the elusive Eye-Snatcher, a gruesome serial killer who leaves his victims to choke to death on their own gouged out eyeballs.

The body parts were first discovered in the bellies of sharks. Marine scientists in the Florida Keys insist sharks rarely dine on live humans, so there can be only one explanation: They were dead before they hit the water. Dr. Jessica Coran knows why.

But when similar murders surface in London on the Thames River, Jessica faces double jeopardy. One killer? Or two....

Recognizing the work of a serial killer, Grant knew he'd have to move fast.

Each story packs a one-two punch, and will leave the listener questioning what it means to be human from "A Snitch in Time" to "Human Error" and "Bed Bait & Beyond", these tales skewer what we think we know and supplant it with what we should have known from sentence one to end.

When FBI psychic Dr. Aurelia Murphy Hiyakawa is asked in on a case in New Orleans, she soon learns that the missing Gone Girls may as yet be alive and that their abductor is a "collector" rather than a typical serial abductor/killer.

There is little about this case that resembles anything that "Rae" Hiyakawa has faced before in PSI Blue and DEJA Blue. But the case takes on a new wrinkle that no one could have predicted.
