Message in the Bones

Long-buried bones have secrets to share - if you know how to read the messageFreak is a nasty word, but many people in this small town have no trouble calling me a freak, or worse. The night my father was murdered and I was left for dead, I awoke with the ability to sense things. Touching certain items often gives me visions, sometimes horrifying ones. Most people here are afraid of that kind of thing - afraid of me.Especially my brother, Dustin. As head detective of the River Bend police department, he'd rather pretend I don't exist than believe in my gift.

He's not happy about it.I normally hide my abilities from people, but the mysterious skeleton had a story that needed to be told. When I touched the bones, I saw what happened to her, lived through her murder. That vision changed me - changed everything.But no one wants to believe what I saw. Instead of a helpful hero, I become even more of an outcast in my small town. The only person who truly believes is the one man who knows the truth of my visions - the killer - and he's desperate to keep his secrets buried.Now he hunts a new prey - me. I don't need psychic powers to know he's right behind me - closing in - about to strike.
