In August 1990, at the beginning of the fall semester, five college students were brutally slain in their southwest Gainesville, Florida apartments. An unknown killer, or killers, paralyzed the city for months. As the police searched for clues, Helen Baxter performed her own investigation with the help of several unusual sources: Psychics.

Convincing members of the task force to use information gleaned from psychic intuition proved to be difficult but ultimately led Helen, a team of investigators and two psychics down a frightening path of discovery.

Would the psychics be able to provide the police with enough credible information to stop the killing?

Helen Baxter was certain of one thing: some experiences defy explanation.

Om forfatteren

Susan Waller Lehmann was born in Miami, FL and attended Florida State University. She discovered writing and journalism while in college. In 1981, she refused a job with the nascent CNN thinking Who on earth would want to watch a 24-hour news channel? Her path in life now determined by the idea that she would be a real journalist instead, she put her interview skills to work as a writer,publisher, private investigator, and death penalty mitigation expert.

Her simultaneous professions inform her non-fiction writing, samples of which have earned her a 1996 Eaton Literary Award and a 2016 Utah Original Writing Competition Honorable Mention in Non-Fiction.

In 2012 she drove across the country with her husband to the mountains of Northern Utah and started a new private investigation agency - because, when you think about it, there is no better way to distract yourself from the hard work of writing than dealing with cheating spouses, tracking down dead-beat parents, and sitting through interminable night-time surveillance operations.
