SYNESTHESIA:
A neurological condition characterized by automatic, involuntary sensory perceptions triggered by seemingly unrelated stimuli.
There is something unusual about Dr. Jenna Ramey’s brain, a rare perceptual quirk that punctuates her experiences with flashes of color. They are hard to explain: red can mean anger, or love, or strength. But she can use these spontaneous mental associations, understand and interpret them enough to help her read people and situations in ways others cannot. As an FBI forensic psychiatrist, she used it to profile and catch criminals. Years ago, she used it to save her own family from her charming, sociopathic mother.
Now, the FBI has detained a mass murderer and called for Jenna’s help. Upon interrogation she learns that, behind bars or not, he holds the power to harm more innocents—and is obsessed with gaining power over Jenna herself. He has a partner still on the loose. And Jenna’s unique mind, with its strange and subtle perceptions, may be all that can prevent a terrifying reality…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A shooting at an Orlando, Fla., theme park draws forensic psychologist Jenna Ramey away from her private practice and back into detective work with the FBI in this entertaining first in a new thriller series from Marshall (Chain of Command). After the shooting, gunman Isaac Keaton immediately surrenders himself. Jenna, who has grapheme-color synesthesia, or the ability to perceive color in relation to a subject's emotional state, deduces that Isaac is one half of the Gemini, a pair of infamous serial killers who have been targeting the East Coast. During her mind games with Isaac, he hints that there's another killer at large and that he might know something about Jenna's mother, a sociopath who has threatened Jenna and her family before. In the battle to outsmart Isaac, Jenna proves clever enough without resorting to her synesthesia, which only reinforces conclusions she draws from more conventional clues. Readers will look forward to seeing more of this appealing heroine.
