| The residents of Doraville, North Carolina, fear the worst; as the number of runaway boys seems improbable. The townsfolk believe a serial killer is living amidst them murdering their male offspring. Against the advice of Sheriff Sandra Rockwell, psychic detective Harper Connelly and her manager stepbrother, Tolliver Lang, come to the town to find the missing boys. To the horror of both women and Tolliver, Harper earns her fee when she uncovers eight corpses.
Not long afterward, someone assaults an already weary Harper. Worn out to her bone marrow and fearful of further attacks, Harper wants to go home to heal from her injuries, not all being physical. However a less skeptical Sandra pleads with her, and the North Carolina Bureau of Investigation demands she continue to work on the case. The media, learning of the deadly find and psychic link, turns the inquiry into a circus, while Harper’s psychic friends try to assist her, as they begin to find more horrific remains. The third Connelly psychic mystery (see Grave Sight and Grave Surprise) is a tense thriller that grips the audience from the moment the heroine finds the grisly remains of eight bodies and never slows down until the final confrontation. The characters enhance the tale, either by bringing local flavor to the plot or assistance/deterrence to Harper. Although there is a binge of serial killers in literature of late, the fast-paced storyline deftly uses the paranormal to make it seem normal, as the heroine confronts an abnormal psychopathic killer in an entertaining regional whodunit. | |||
