Grace McKenna is not your average police officer.
She is haunted by the unsettling images she sees when she locks eyes with a criminal, flooded with clues that force her to solve cases on her own. A sullen boy, a tormented woman, a breathless man, a thousand pieces of shattered green glass.
When she tends to a missing persons case in a small Massachusetts town, Grace comes face to face with an unlikely criminal. Armed with only a handful of clues, she sets out to unravel one family’s deathly secret.
A killer who is responsible for the death of an innocent teacher is within the same town lines that she strives to protect. Her gift and tenacity are Grace’s best weapons when she finds herself in desperate situations while trying to untangle the mysterious leads that come to the surface as she digs deeper.
Will Grace be able to solve this case on her own, without anyone finding out about her gift?

I found it intriguing to imagine a police officer who could see a person's deepest secrets by looking into their eyes. Seeing how this insight gives her an advantage when solving cases was interesting. Not sure I would like this gift though, it would be far too unsettling! An enjoyable, unique story.
