Lingering Touch

His touch can reveal the past—but some memories refuse to stay buried.

Finn Connelly has a magic touch—literally. His psychic power of psychometry lets him see the past by touching objects and even read people's thoughts if he lingers long enough. It makes him the best private investigator in Summer Park, until his abilities spiral out of control, blurring the line between his own memories and those of the people he touches.

Jazz Zhou is the one woman Finn can never read—and the only one he's ever loved. After the terror of the serial killer's reign in Summer Park, she just wants to heal. But when she learns that Finn is being haunted by fragments of the killer's memories, she realizes the darkness isn't just in his mind—it's taking root in his soul.

As their rekindled connection deepens, so does the grip of the past on Finn. The more he uses his powers, the more the killer's presence consumes him, leaving him unable to trust his own thoughts. To save him, will Jazz confront her own fears and dive into the dark spaces of Finn's mind before the past pulls him under completely?
