Eyes: A Susan Shader Novel
As a ten-year-old girl, tragically orphaned, Susan Shader discovered she was psychic. Touching a photograph of John Lennon one afternoon, she saw him shot to death, years later in New York City. The assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., the Tate-La Bianca killings, the murderous rampage of Richard Speck--all revealed themselves to an unwilling, confused, and frightened girl.
Now grown up, Dr. Susan Shader is a renowned psychiatrist and criminal profiler whose uncanny gift has made her a celebrity among law enforcement professionals. She is called upon to help the Chicago police capture the Coed Killer--a savage serial murderer of female college athletes who "signs" his work viciously mutilating his victims.
With Susan's assistance, an arrest is made, the case is closed, and a terrified city breathes a sigh of relief.
Until the next murder.
Her clairvoyance ridiculed, her reputation destroyed, Susan must act and act fast. She alone can enter the mind of an elusive murderer in time to save the life of his next victim--the most unexpected one of all. But her desperate pursuit of the killer will force her into a painful reexamination of her own shrouded past.
In Eyes , Joseph Glass unleashes a homicidal mastermind as fiendish as Hannibal Lecter, and introduces Susan Shader, a compelling new literary heroine whose strengths derive from the hidden wellsprings of her character. Combining haunting depths with sheer terror, and reaching levels of emotion rarely touched in a mystery novel, Eyes is a must-read, proceed-at-your-own-risk experience.
