\"THE<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

A serial killer, dubbed by the press the Goddess Slayer, is terrorizing Los Angeles.
\nJake Foley and Gus Bleeker, lead detectives on the case, receive an anonymous tip that the killer is holed up in an East L.A. apartment.
\nThey rush to the scene, but it’s a trap.
\nBleeker dies on the spot from multiple gunshot wounds; Foley takes three bullets to the chest and a fourth to the head. Miraculously, he survives the shooting. But his doctors decide there is too great a risk involved in attempting to remove the fourth bullet. It has to stay where it is, lodged deep in the temporal lobe of his brain.
\nDuring the long convalescence that follows, Foley comes to realize he has acquired an amazing new ability – what psychologists call precognition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Miranda Ogilvy is accustomed to being invisible. Sometimes people actually see her, but they forget her almost immediately. It\u2019s not a bad life for a ghost, but Miranda is not a ghost. She\u2019s a librarian.
\nThe problem may be that Miranda lives in a big, busy city. So when her aunt dies suddenly and leaves Miranda a century-old cottage forty miles beyond the middle of nowhere, Miranda makes the life-changing move from Miami to Minokee.
\nMoving doesn\u2019t solve the problem, however; people still don\u2019t notice Miranda. The only two people who seem all too aware of her are a handsome neighbor (way out of her league) and the man who murdered her aunt (too late to move back to Miami?).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
