For two minutes she was dead.
The assailant was vicious, the attack brutal - and it left her lifeless...until her pulse fluttered and she jolted awake. Now, a year later, detective Nan Vining is still questioning her strength, her safety, even her sanity: can she ever again be the cop - and mother - she was before? And will her attacker some day return to finish the job, before she can track him down herself?
Shaky but determined, Vining rejoins the Pasadena PD, only to confront a murder case that strikes close to home: a slain policewoman has been discovered dumped on a hillside, her body bruised, her throat slit. Even as Vining struggles to recover her standing within the department, she can't help but fee; drawn to the murdered officer, Frankie Lynde - and deeply troubled by the baffling otherworldly visions that haunt her waking hours. Is her mind playing tricks or could they really be, as Vining's daughter insists, messages from beyond the grave?
Digging deeper into Lynde's past, Vining discovers clues that set her on the twisted trail of a killer as ruthless as he is depraved - a predator whose methods and madness recall those of her own attacker. Amid a rising tide of danger, she pushes herself to bold new limits, desperate to avenge the murder of a fellow police officer...and to reclaim the life she lost a year ago.
