Summary

This paranormal thriller takes place in an alternate world very similar to our own except that a small percentage of people are born with violet eyes...and the ability to communicate with the dead. Naturally, such people-known as Violets-are in great demand when prosecuting murders, as the victims themselves serve as witnesses. When a black-masked (and therefore unidentifiable) serial killer begins targeting Violets, FBI agent Dan Atwater teams up with Violet Natalie Lindstrom on the case.

Publisher's Notes

In a world where the dead can testify against the living, someone is getting away with murder. Because to every generation are born a select few souls with violet-colored eyes, and the ability to channel the dead. Both rare and precious—and rigidly controlled by a society that craves their services—these Violets perform a number of different duties. The most fortunate increase the world's cultural heritage by channeling the still-creative spirits of famous dead artists and musicians. The least fortunate aid the police and the law courts, catching criminals by interviewing the deceased victims of violent crime.

But now the Violets themselves have become the target of a brutal serial murderer—a murderer who had learned how to mask his or her identity even from the victims. Can the FBI, aided by a Violet so scared of death that she is afraid to live, uncover the criminal in time? Or must more of her race be dispatched to the realm that has haunted them all since childhood?
