About the book

Mary’s life is defined by a psychic connection to a brutal serial killer who stalks and mutilates women. Since childhood, she has experienced vivid, terrifying flashes of his crimes through his own eyes. When a new string of murders begins, the details mirror her specific visions, convincing her that the killer is now targeting her personally. Working with her husband, Max, Mary must decipher these sensory bursts to identify the murderer before he reaches her home. The plot centers on the mechanics of Mary’s extrasensory perception and the physical toll these mental intrusions take on her safety and sanity.

This book serves readers who want a blend of parapsychology and procedural suspense. It attracts those interested in how psychic abilities might function as a burden rather than a gift within a realistic setting. Readers gain a perspective on the psychological pressure of involuntary clairvoyance and the tension of a manhunt where the protagonist is both the hunter and the prey. It provides a straightforward example of late-seventies supernatural fiction, focusing on the internal struggle to differentiate between psychic premonition and external reality.
