For those of you who like thrillers, this book is awesome! I happen to love Ted Dekker and think his books are great- and this is coming from someone who doesn't like scary things. This book was hard to put down and was very interesting. I recommend Ted Dekker's other works as well, such as the Boneman's Daughters.
Book Description
Publication Date: April 13, 2010
FBI Special agent Brad Raines is facing his toughest case
yet. A Denver serial killer has killed four beautiful young women,
leaving a bridal veil at each crime scene, and he's picking up his pace.
Unable to crack the case, Raines appeals for help from a most unusual
source: residents of the Center for Wellness and Intelligence, a private
psychiatric institution for mentally ill individuals whose are
extraordinarily gifted.
It's there that he meets Paradise, a
young woman who witnessed her father murder her family and barely
escaped his hand. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Paradise may also have
an extrasensory gift: the ability to experience the final moments of a
person's life when she touches the dead body.
In a desperate
attempt to find the killer, Raines enlists Paradise's help. In an effort
to win her trust, he befriends this strange young woman and begins to
see in her qualities that most 'sane people' sorely lack. Gradually, he
starts to question whether sanity resides outside the hospital
walls...or inside.
As the Bride Collector picks up the pace-and
volume-of his gruesome crucifixions, the case becomes even more personal
to Raines when his friend and colleague, a beautiful young forensic
psychologist, becomes the Bride Collector's next target.
The FBI believes that the killer plans to murder seven women. Can Paradise help before it's too late?
