FBI profiler Sophie Anderson quickly jumps into the Asian
underworld in her first case as a transplanted Aussie in
L.A. Her knowledge of martial arts leads her to discover
connections where others see none in various recent deaths,
but her visions of crimes, deaths and near-misses makes her
a truly worthy opponent for members of the Yakuza.
P.D. Martin quickly immerses the reader into the
world of her work. Sophie Anderson is presented as a
professional who relies on excellent detective skills,
knowledgeable contacts and an ability to connect the dots
that allow her to use her visions in a productive way. She
is no fainting flower who relies on psychic showmanship or
who tries to dodge the physical elements of an
investigation. For these reasons, readers who enjoy hard-
nosed police drama or CSI-style television shows
will find her an engaging character.
Just as Aussie FBI profiler Sophie Anderson is settling
into her job in the LA bureau, she’s pulled into a case
that’s different from anything she’s ever seen – the
victim has had his throat literally ripped out. But what
weapon could have caused such devastating injuries? And
who is the John Doe?
Sophie and her team are dealing with a skilled killer,
someone who leaves virtually no forensic evidence. When
the team links the body to an Asian criminal organisation
things get even more mysterious. The victim has been
missing for fifteen years, so where has he been and why
has he returned? More importantly, who wanted him dead?
As LA's underbelly rears its ugly head, Sophie will have
to draw on her experience and her developing psychic
skills to find a brilliant killer who's carved a trail of
death in organised crime across the US. He leaves only one
thing behind him - horrifying murder scenes.
