Truth catcher

by Anna C. Salter

A forensic psychologist's attempt to prevent the imminent release of a dangerous prisoner is complicated by a distress call from an old friend. While interviewing inmate Daryl Collins in a Seattle prison, Dr. Breeze Copens gets a sudden vision of an imperiled little girl in a blue dress. Having such a vision is not unusual; Breeze, a synesthete, works from paranormal messages like voices that she sees as colors. But this vision disturbs her and, along with her evaluation, convinces her that Collins is a danger, even though his clean record makes his release seem a fait accompli until he's upstaged by a disturbing phone call from an unidentified teenager.
