Mockingbird (Miriam Black #2) (Compact Disc)

Description

Miriam Black is trying to live an ordinary life, keeping her ability to see how someone dies hidden...until a serial killer crosses her path. This is the second book in the Miriam Black series.

"Visceral and often brutal, this tale vibrates with emotional rawness that helps to paint a bleak, unrelenting picture of life on the edge." --Publishers Weekly

Miriam is trying. Really, she is. But this whole "settling down thing" just isn't working out.

She lives on Long Beach Island all year in a run-down, double-wide trailer. She works at a grocery store as a checkout girl. And her relationship with Louis--who's on the road half the time in his truck--is subject to the mood swings Miriam brings to everything she does. It just isn't going well.

Still, she's keeping her psychic ability--to see when and how someone is going to die just by touching them--in check. But even that feels wrong somehow. Like she's keeping a tornado stopped up in a tiny bottle. Then comes the one bad day that turns it all on her ear.
