Heat meets The Sixth Sense in The
Shimmer, a classic suspense with a genre blending
element by Carsten Stroud, author of the New York
Times bestselling true crime account, Close
Pursuit.
Carsten Stroud's THE SHIMMER is a high octane thriller
laced with humor and a smattering of supernatural
genre-bending. Set in Florida now and during the fifties, it
focuses on two families, one headed by a cop, one by a
forensic anthropologist, whose lives are irrevocably changed
when they cross paths with a beautiful, seductive stranger.
That stranger turns out to be a cunning, time traveling
female serial killer who craves to bathe in the shimmering
afterglow that sometimes emanates when the soul leaves the
body. It also provides her a way to slip into the past so
she can right a wrong.
