When Sherry Moore was 5 years old she was found near death at the bottom of the stairs of a city hospital. She had no memory and no eye sight. As a young child, Sherry attends a funeral and while touching the deceased hand she “sees” what happened in their last 18 seconds of life. Their visions of life and their death. Kelly O’Shaughnessy new police lieutenant with seemingly unrelated abductions in Wildwood, New Jersey. That is they seem unrelated until she receives a phone call that starts to put some of the pieces together. Together with the help of Moore and her partner John Payne, crimes are solved that lead all parties concerned in directions that they could never see coming. A large cast of characters that seems to be disjointed all come together in a terrifying ending that has you rapidly turning pages until the dramatic conclusion that leaves you breathless and wanting more from an extraordinary author. If it’s such a great book why only a 4? I was expecting it to be more about Moore’s character. All characters are well drawn and each has their own storyline. Guess I just jumped to the wrong conclusion and got stuck there.
