Miriam Black is trying to live an ordinary life, keeping her ability to see how someone dies hidden...until a serial killer crosses her path. This is the second book in the Miriam Black series.<br> <br>"Visceral and often brutal, this tale vibrates with emotional rawness that helps to paint a bleak, unrelenting picture of life on the edge." - <i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>Miriam is trying. Really, she is. But this whole "settling down thing" just isn't working out.<br> <br>She lives on Long Beach Island all year in a run-down, double-wide trailer. She works at a grocery store as a checkout girl. And her relationship with Louis - who's on the road half the time in his truck - is subject to the mood swings Miriam brings to everything she does. It just isn't going well.<br> <br>Still, she's keeping her psychic ability - to see when and how someone is going to die just by touching them - in check. But even that feels wrong somehow. Like she's keeping a tornado stopped up in a tiny bottle. Then comes the one bad day that turns it all on her ear.
