At age five, she was found near death on the steps of a city hospital. A head injury had left her without sight and prevented her from remembering her past. When Sherry discovers she does have sight -- sight that transcends death -- she learns to use her gift to help others solve mysteries that only she can tap into.<P><P>Serial killer Earl Sykes was never caught for his vicious murders. Instead, a deadly traffic accident landed him in prison. Now, almost thirty years later, he returns to the seaside town of Wildwood, New Jersey -- and to abducting young female victims from desolate areas of the boardwalk for his gruesome games.<P><P>Wildwood police lieutenant Kelly O'Shaughnessy is stymied over the disappearance of young women from the boardwalk -- crimes horrifyingly reminiscent of unsolved cases from the seventies. When an old man's untimely death leads Sherry Moore to Wildwood, O'Shaughnessy's desperation to stem the bloodshed forces her to accept Sherry's help, but not without consequence. As the two women join forces to discover the killer's identity, they unwittingly become the hunted, marching deeper with every step into the monster's lair.<P><P>A law enforcement veteran himself, Shuman packs a realistic style and authentic investigative detail into this taut tale filled with pulse-pounding tension that will send readers right to the edge.<P><P> 180813 28 3 2006 18 Seconds: A Novel total:167|5:25|4:73|3:54|2:13|1:2| 167 607 278 48 4 2 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Aug 19 06:39:04 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 19 06:39:32 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 29 14:19:54 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 02 05:13:20 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Feb 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 12:35:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 09:08:44 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Mar 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 09 10:08:58 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 18 06:49:02 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Apr 20 06:55:54 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 07:01:19 -0700 2009

An interesting premise which was under-developed. Pretty standard fare other than that hook.
