Seattle police sketch artist Maggie Barnes has an extraordinary gift. She listens as traumatized crime victims describe their ordeals--and then uses those horrifying recollections to draw dead-on sketches of the assailants. Some cops think Maggie is telepathic, that she can actually enter the victims' minds. Only Maggie knows the truth behind her rare talent...and she isn't telling.

But her secret may be exposed when a madman seizes Seattle in his terrifying grip. He aducts women and blinds them, leaving them baarely alive. The police have one hope: the lone vitim who might recover her sight. But they don't know that Maggie has her own dark connection to the monster--an eerie link that may stretch back to a string of unsolved murders. To stop the escalating terror, Maggie will have to push her abilities to thebreaking point--even if it means confronting a predator whose powers seem to have no bounds....
