Don't trust him, you could lose your heart to him. Literally...

When a mummified body is washed up on a beach near Chichester, DI Jo Wolfe quickly identifies a suspect, the dead girl's flat mate, Daniel Tate. As the investigation unfolds, the team realise that the killer could well be someone fascinated by Anubis, the Egyptian God of Death.

As more victims are identified, Jo must touch the dead to help her solve the case. But the visions drain her and she wonders how long she can carry on. And how long she can keep her secret from the one man she's growing dangerously close to, her partner DS Eddie Byrd?

As Jo is forced to accept that she may be chasing the wrong suspect, she begins to doubt her gift.
Is she misreading the snatched visions?
Is their killer just a man, or is he really the God of Death?

Jo developed psychic abilities after a riding accident, so she now attempts to right the wrongs of the living with the aid of the dead.

A chilling tale, perfect for fans of supernatural crime thrillers from Dean Koontz, Peter James, Alex North, C J Tudor, Ben Cheetham, Mark Edwards and Stephen King.
