BLURB
Marketing specialist Kathy Gilliam leads a fairly boring life. If she’s not working or caring for her ailing father, then she is doing whatever it takes to avoid going anywhere near crowds of people.
Her few distractions include her friend Margo Longfellow, occasional hiking trips, and her increasingly alarming dreams of women dying.
As her nightmares cause her to begin to doubt her sanity, the media releases news of the “Coast-to-Coast Killer” and Kathy discovers her dreams may be related. In a moment of panic, Kathy does something that places her on the FBI’s “persons of interest” list. Suddenly, her life is set on a collision course with Jack who must decide if Kathy is the killer or destined to become a victim.
EXCERPT
He hadn't meant
to kill her. No. No. No. Tom stared down at the woman, first turning
his head one way and then another, fascinated by the way the moonlight glinted
against the blood pooling out around her.
He was just angry, but Tom
didn't understand why. He just really wanted to get away,
go back home. It had been so long since
Tom had been home.
Stepping over
the body, he walked forward, trying to decide where he had brought Tom this time.
They were in an alleyway. Across
the street, he could see what looked like a hospital or doctor's office of some
kind. But what city? What state?
Tennessee, the man in his head told him.
Yes. Yes. Still Tennessee. Hmm.
Why are we here?
To find the girl, remember?
Right. The girl.
Woman actually. Tom turned around
and looked at the woman on the ground, the full moon shining clearly on her
face. It's not her, he thought.
I KNOW!
Tom winced at the pain in his head, wishing he would just go away. But he wouldn't. Even before Tom had killed his mother all those years ago, the man had been in his head, slowly taking more and more of his memory and control away. Hours and even days now passed that Tom no longer remembered.
He took another
look at the mental image of the man in his head. Mr. Mustache, he called him when Tom thought he wasn't listening. Tom had seen black and white pictures of men
with mustaches like his. The man looked
to be Tom's age, but wore clothes he had never seen except in movies. Why did he dress so weird?
Can we go home
yet?
No.
Tom sighed,
taking one last look at the dead woman before he started walking. In his mind, he could still see the fear in
her face. He smiled at the thought,
looking around as he emerged from the alleyway into the busy street. At least, they were in a city this time. Another thought widened his smile. Maybe there was a Starbucks nearby!
He began to whistle as he crossed the road, remembering her
screams
