Description de l’éditeur
New from the author of Color Blind...FBI profiler Jenna Ramey has synesthesia, a neurological condition that causes perceptions of color to flash through her mind, triggered by seemingly unrelated stimuli. But she has learned to understand and interpret these associations. They help her do her job. They can help save lives…
A little girl has witnessed a mass shooting. What she knows may be the key to finding the man responsible. Jenna has been tasked with drawing her out, figuring out what she saw, what she remembers, what it means.
But Molly is an unusual child. She is sweet and bright, and eager to help, but she has a quirk of her own: an intense preoccupation with numbers. It helps her notice things that others don’t. It also leads Jenna into a maze of speculation that could turn into a wild goose chase while the body count continues to rise.
Jenna and Molly view the world through their own filters. In some ways, they speak different languages. Now Jenna must learn to communicate, to break Molly’s code, to understand the mind of a murderer…
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of Marshall's pedestrian second novel featuring FBI special agent Jenna Ramey (after 2014's Color Blind), Molly Keegan, a precocious six-year-old, calls 911 during a shooting at a Virginia grocery store that leaves seven dead. Jenna's boyfriend, Yancy Vogul, happens to be the 911 operator who takes the call. Yancy alerts Jenna, who's joined the police team en route to the crime scene, to find Molly. Jenna's grapheme-color synesthesia allows her to associate colors with people, numbers, and emotions a kind of color-coded guide to the truth. Molly has a similarly rare talent with numbers and number associations. Clues at the grocery store suggest that the murders are the work of a mass killer known as the Triple Shooter. Molly and Jenna join forces to use their special abilities to identify the killer. The business about color and number associations will please paranormal fans, but the creaky plot disappoints.
