Publisher's summary

A psychic and a serial killer play a cross-country game of cat-and-mouse in this thriller from the New York Times best-selling author of Kiss Her Goodbye.

The Night Watchman is ready to kill - again. After 35 years in prison, he is free to commit the same twisted atrocities that once made him as notorious as the Zodiac Killer and Jack the Ripper. Now, at last, his moment has come.

Through her television appearances, renowned clairvoyant Lucinda Sloan helps police capture America's most wanted. Unfortunately, she's also captured the eye of the Night Watchman. Once he learns that Sloan "sees" his crimes, it's time to play.

The first victim is someone she knows - a personal shock that brings the psychic closer to her ex-lover, Detective Randall Barakat. Then two more murders in Chicago and Denver make her realize that the Night Watchman is toying with her. Each victim wears a wristwatch bearing a message...and each message is a warning for Lucinda that she'll soon be the next to die.

Solid story...

It was a good story with many twists, kept my attention and left me wanting more. I hope she carries her character over into more stories.. I liked the psychic spin and helping on crime cases. I'd listen to more of that!

I love the story .

Love how smoothly transition from one chapter to the other and the maintenance of the drama never went away.

Good enough for another go

This was a little different listen for me but entertaining and well narrated. Since I listen so much I’m trying to broaden my horizons and will probably try another from W.C. Straub.

loved the story

I was a bit confused on why there was only one narrator, it made sense after all the characters that had a p.o.v. Great story that didn't have many twists and turns, yet you didn't see the ending coming.

Pretty good

Not as good as the first one, but not bad and thankfully no surprise twist, stays true to the storyline. Could have left out a few superfluous characters but otherwise good read
