Seeing Evil

Some minds were never meant to be touched.

Augur Bryn Ashton has been psychologically scarred after reading the mind of a serial killer, Doctor Everard Templeton, aka The Forest Ripper. Bryn's testimony put Templeton behind bars, but in the process Bryn saw too much-glimpses of the killer's obsessions, his appetites, and his intent. That moment of psychic exposure forged a connection Templeton refuses to let die.

Having escaped custody and evaded the FBI, Templeton returns to Boston with Bryn in his sights. He lays a meticulously engineered trail designed to pull Bryn in and punish him for daring to look into Templeton's mind. The puzzles twist back on themselves, leading nowhere, but leaving innocent victims in their wake.

Detective Gunnar Ericson, Bryn's partner and lover, finds himself thrust into a nightmare. How can he protect Bryn when Templeton always seems to be three steps ahead of them?

As Templeton draws closer, a confrontation becomes inevitable. His taunts are all part of a sadistic game designed to increase the pressure on Bryn and his team because Templeton doesn't just want revenge-he wants Bryn to suffer for daring to see true evil. And refusing to blink.
