Sacked from an Australian university for the deaths that trailed his research, Professor Ian Delaney resurfaces in small-town Illinois with a granite-walled basement and a monstrous ambition: to prove the human soul can be captured at the moment of death. He needs terror, pain, and a partner willing to supply both. Wayne Richardson, a Wal-Mart unloader who murders women resembling the girlfriend who dared to leave him, is exactly that partner. Detective John Barnes knows in his gut who is killing the brunettes of Collinsville. He cannot prove a word of it, his chief wants the case buried, and his only remaining lead is a psychic from Georgia. A cold, clever paranormal thriller about what science might become if it hunted the soul the way it hunts the body. Contains graphic violence.
