    About this ebook

    A psychic and a serial killer play a cross-country game of cat-and-mouse in this thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Kiss Her Goodbye.
     
    The Night Watchman is ready to kill—again. After thirty-five years in prison, he is free to commit the same twisted atrocities that once made him as notorious as the Zodiac Killer and Jack the Ripper. Now, at last, his moment has come.
     
    Through her television appearances, renowned clairvoyant Lucinda Sloan helps police capture America’s most wanted. Unfortunately, she’s also captured the eye of the Night Watchman. Once he learns that Sloan “sees” his crimes, it’s time to play.
     
    The first victim is someone she knows—a personal shock that brings the psychic closer to her ex-lover, Det. Randall Barakat. Then two more murders in Chicago and Denver make her realize that the Night Watchman is toying with her. Each victim wears a wristwatch bearing a message . . . and each message is a warning for Lucinda that she’ll soon be the next to die.

      1. As much as I may rack my brain, there are 15 minutes or so in the dark that I can’t account for and that I’ll never get back—15 minutes during which, I have to think, that creep’s hands were touching my body. It’s a weird thing to think about all

      A gripping read, for sure. I didn't want to stop reading once I got into the main plot line. It's an interesting take on a detective story: using psychic detectives in an effort to solve crimes turns on it's head when the psychic is now the one being hunted by the killer. I would recommend this book for a nice, easy, yet interesting read.

      This was a very difficult book for me to get into. I didn't feel any connection to any of the characters. I thought that Lucinda was very flat and a typical "poor little rich girl with special gifts". She's rebelling but she has no problem spending the money. I never did understand why she and her boyfriend couldn't get together. Very disappointing after having read a few of Ms. Staub's previous books.
