    About this ebook

    The 3rd book in the critically acclaimed Cass Lehman Psychic Series. A reluctant psychic, a troubled detective… and a deeply twisted serial killer.

    On any night, 1 person in 200 is homeless …

    Someone is targeting Adelaide’s homeless. Men are disappearing off the streets, and body parts are turning up in a local dump.

    Still haunted by her last run-in with a serial killer, Cass Lehman is trying hard to focus on the future. That’s not easy when she has the ‘gift’ of retrocognition … the ability to spontaneously re-live the last minutes of a person’s life.

    Cass and Detective Ed Dyson are now trying to make a normal home together, but when she gets entangled in Ed’s latest case things are far from normal.

    A twisted tale of love, desperation and murder ... When the psychic meets the psychotic, who will come out unscathed?

    Melanie Casey

    Melanie Casey was born and lives in South Australia with her two young children and her husband (who didn't know he was marrying a writer when he walked down the aisle). After studying English Literature and Classical Studies, Melanie shifted to Law, and now works in government. A chance meeting with a highschool English teacher in the supermarket made Melanie realise that she should be doing what she'd always loved, writing! Another period of study, this time at the Professional Writing School of Adelaide's College of the Arts ensued, helping Melanie acquire the skills she needed to put her plan into action.

      This was my first book by Melanie Casey (oops, started at the end of the series!), and I fell in love with the characters and the way the author told the story right away. I was also a fan of the fact that it was on the gruesome side, though I didn't think it was unnecessarily thrown in like some might do, just to add the "ick" factor. It all was pertinent to the storyline and being a big thriller reader, I had no trouble with it at all, though fair warning--some might have issues with the blood and gore. This book had everything--a little romance, a nice background story on the main characters, family drama, but most of all, a page-turning main plot that had me walking around thinking about the book when I couldn't actually be reading it. That's when I know I've found an author and series I need to stick with. I had no problem reading this as a stand alone book, but I plan to read the other books soon as I really enjoyed these characters and want to know more of their history. And I also love the author's writing and can't wait to get more of that too. If you're into thrillers and psychic mysteries (and don't mind a little gore), I can recommend this book with the whole 5 stars.

      Another novel set in Adelaide! The city is recognisable and this novel clings to the reputation that strange and gruesome murders occur in this "City of Churches".I'm not quite sure how I have missed seeing earlier novels by this author. So I really read this as a stand alone and it worked quite well. There was enough back story for me to be able to make sense of what had happened in the past, and in previous stories.Readers are required to suspend their disbelief in paranormal powers because Cass Lehman's matrilinear line all have "powers" of a sort. Cass has apparently used hers in the past to assist the police. The experiences are draining ones for her, and sometimes occur unpredictably.This is a fairly grisly tale, with a number of bags of body parts being found in a dump at McLaren Vale, the wine growing district south of Adelaide. The evidence begins to point strongly to one person as the perpetrator but it is still up to Cass and Ed to prove the case.A good read, with some fine bits of suspense.
