What threat could he possibly be to anyone? With no apparent motive, DS George Cross canvases the community for potential suspects but the man was known as generous, charitable, community-minded. Each interview about who the man is muddies the picture further. So Cross decides to look for who he was–revealing a past that is far less honourable than his present . . .

Lige i hælene på sin fejrede debut '18 sekunder' vender George Shuman tilbage med endnu en bemærkelsesværdig krimi om efterforskningskonsulent Sherry Moore – en blind kvinde med en uhyggelig evne til, når hun rører et ligs hånd, at se de sidste sekunder i den dødes liv.

En skånselsløs seriemorder med en utænkelig metode har efterladt et spor af torterede, myrdede kvinder i det vestlige Maryland og er åbenbart gået under jorden i Pennsylvanias bagland.

Hendes liv har været alt andet end normalt, men på grund af sit forhold til Brian Metcalf, NAVY SEAL i Søværnet, som hun mødte under en dramatisk redningsaktion på Mount Denali, har Sherry aldrig været lykkeligere.
