18 Seconds

by George D Shuman

18 Seconds Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Investigative consultant Sherry Moore is blind and stunningly beautiful, with the extraordinary ability to see the deceased's last eighteen seconds of memory by touching the corpse. At age five, she was found near death on the steps of a city hospital. A head injury had left her without sight and prevented her from remembering her past. When Sherry discovers she does have sight — sight that transcends death — she learns to use her gift to help others solve mysteries that only she can tap into.

Serial killer Earl Sykes was never caught for his vicious murders. Instead, a deadly traffic accident landed him in prison. Now, almost thirty years later, he returns to the seaside town of Wildwood, New Jersey — and to abducting young female victims from desolate areas of the boardwalk for his gruesome games.

Wildwood police lieutenant Kelly O'Shaughnessy is stymied over the disappearance of young women from the boardwalk — crimes horrifyingly reminiscent of unsolved cases from the seventies. When an old man's untimely death leads Sherry Moore to Wildwood, O'Shaughnessy's desperation to stem the bloodshed forces her to accept Sherry's help, but not without consequence. As the two women join forces to discover the killer's identity, they unwittingly become the hunted, marching deeper with every step into the monster's lair.

A law enforcement veteran himself, Shuman packs a realistic style and authentic investigative detail into this taut tale filled with pulse-pounding tension that will send readers right to the edge.

Synopsis:

This thrilling page-turner brings a "Sixth Sense" chill to Thomas Harris territory: A blind psychic with a remarkable gift--she can see the last 18 seconds of a murder victim's life--helps a newly minted female police lieutenant hunt down a brutal serial killer.

Synopsis:

A blind psychic with a remarkable gift--she can see the last 18 seconds of a murder victim's life--helps a newly minted female police lieutenant hunt down a brutal serial killer in this gripping debut thriller.

Synopsis:

In his gripping debut, George D. Shuman crafts a pulse-pounding, tension-filled thriller about two brave women — one with uncanny psychic abilities — who unite to catch a murderous madman...before he finds them first.

Thirty years after a deadly traffic accident landed Earl Sykes in prison, he is back on the streets of Wildwood, New Jersey — and back for revenge. He is also feeding his perverse appetite for abducting young female victims — the same crimes he committed years ago for which he was never caught.

Police lieutenant Kelly O'Shaughnessy is bewildered by the disappearance of several young women from the boardwalk — crimes horrifyingly reminiscent of unsolved cases from the seventies. Reluctant to ask for help but desperate to stem the bloodshed, Kelly enlists investigative consultant Sherry Moore. Blind and beautiful, Sherry has the extraordinary ability to "see" the deceased's last eighteen seconds of memory by touching the corpse. As they join forces to discover the killer's identity, the women unwittingly become the hunted — each step drawing them closer to the deadly clutches of a homicidal monster.
