18 Seconds: A Novel (Sherry Moore Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)~ George D. ShumanMass Market Paperback: 384 pages Publisher: Pocket Star; First edition (March 27, 2007) Language: English ISBN-10: 0743277171 ISBN-13: 978-0743277174 Product Dimensions: 6.8 x 4.2 x 1 inches From BooklistHere\'s a high-concept thriller that, in places, could almost sink under the weight of its own premise. Sherry Moore is beautiful, blind, and psychic. But she doesn\'t read minds; Sherry\'s gift--although some might say it\'s more of a curse--is this: if she touches a dead person, she can see the last 18 seconds of that person\'s life. Naturally, this skill makes her very handy to the police, and when Lieutenant Kelly O\'Shaughnessy is having trouble finding out who killed a young girl, the two women plunge headlong into an old case involving a vicious serial killer. Fans of the television series Medium should enjoy this novel\'s combination of parapsychology and real-world detective work, and it should also appeal to fans of twisted psychological thrillers (Jeffrey Deaver, say, or Thomas Harris). Unfortunately, Shuman, a veteran police officer, spends so much time justifying his premise that he tends to sound like he doesn\'t quite believe it himself. Sometimes you just have to let readers suspend their own disbelief. David PittCopyright ? American Library Association. All rights reserved --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
