Synopsis: She lies in a pool of her own blood. More blood decorates one wall in macabre finger paintings. The victim is a fortune-teller from the Little Saigon community of Westminster, California—it’s a seemingly random murder. Detective Seven Bushard wonders cynically if she saw it coming.
When local artist Gia Moon shows up at the precinct with visions of another murder yet to happen, Seven doesn’t buy it. Some say Gia’s paintings give a glimpse into the next world, but all Seven knows is cold, hard evidence. Then when her prediction comes true, he’s left looking six ways from incompetent, and worse—now it’s a serial killer he’s after.
But Gia is not all that she seems. A link to her past points to a deranged lunatic whose desire to complete a bizarre collection has become an obsession. Now Seven is locked in a game of greed and murder with a woman he can’t entirely trust, and a killer who will silence anyone who gets in the way.
