Riven - E-book - ePub

Detective Leonard Warren is obsessively hunting notorious serial killer, Virgil Hallows. On the other side of the world, Dana Smiths is trying to prepare for her wedding. Yet Dana shares a mysterious psychic connection with the murderer, allowing her glimpses into his twisted life. Hallows is drawn to her home town, and, soon, to Dana herself. Warren harbours an intense personal grudge, preventing him from treating the investigation objectively.
Dana is too preoccupied to realise that her fiancee, Tobias, is cheating on her. Despite receiving support from her friends, Dana's unwelcome powers seem to drive a wedge between her and her partner. As Dana becomes an unofficial consultant in the investigation, it becomes clear that Hallows has unfinished business in her hometown, with people close to her. Dana's promiscuous neighbour, Mort, wishes only to party and is not eager to dredge up the past; neither is morbid funeral director Dennis Fairweather.
By the time Dana realises that she has taken her powers for granted, Mort and Dennis have no choice left, and many lives are at stake. As the bond between Dana and Hallows strengthens, Dana realises that she has become his new, and most significant, target.
