double visions

Eight years ago, psychic Jane Parkes helped police bring down a serial killer known as "The Crucifier" - at the cost of Detective Inspector Karl Meyers' life. Wracked with guilt, Jane buried her gift and retreated into a quiet life in the coastal village of Windhaven.

But the past won't stay buried. When a mysterious young woman appears at her door and vanishes into thin air, Jane is thrust back into the Shadow World - only this time, her visions are different. She's seeing through the killer's eyes, experiencing each brutal murder in real time. Worse, he can sense her, too, reaching back into her mind.

A new killer stalks the region, carving the Crucifier's symbol into his victims and staging them in crucifixion poses. But Arthur Durage died in that basement eight years ago along with the police detective that she'd partnered with on the case - so is this a copycat, or did they kill the wrong man? His victims seem to share a strange, glowing quality only he can see, as he searches for a special "chosen one" he believes God has destined for him.

Jane turns to the one person she never wanted to face: Danny Meyers, the dead detective's son, who blames her for his father's death in that basement. Meanwhile, washed-up journalist Randall Zerneck - armed with Meyers' secret journal - is hunting Jane, determined to expose the police's buried use of a psychic, regardless of the danger he unleashes. And as the body count rises, Jane realizes the horrifying truth: the killer isn't just killing near her - he's showing her his work, and everything seems to lead back to her.

The dead won't let her rest, the police want her gone, and a monster is waiting in the dark.
