In the greater San Diego area, a serial killer has murdered at
least six people in the last month and half.
Autopsies revealed that each of the bodies contained the same
unidentified substance. After
investigator Jeff Stedler vanishes, the FBI consults with music therapist Dr.
Kendra Michaels, who has been very helpful on other difficult cases due to her
extraordinary sensory skills; she was born blind so honed her four other senses
to an exceptional level though surgery at twenty gave her sight.
Kendra soon realizes she has a psychopathic fan whose killings pay
homage to her most famous cases; but also fears she knows the culprit. This “artist” rejoices that the cherished
role model has joined the investigation as this killer plots for the student to
surpass the teacher by murdering her.
The second Kendra Michaels FBI procedural (see Close Your Eyes) is a
fabulous whodunit starring an in your face abrasive Shirley Holmes with skills
mindful of Daredevil and tact mindful of a raging Wolverine. The key support cast is fully developed
especially her teammate (very loose definition) Adam Lynch and the
killer as Johansen
provides a tense suspense.
