Description

Frode will never forget a face. Once he's touched the same item you have, you're forever etched into his memory.

Three months ago, Nikolai Nesterova moved back to his hometown. He swore he'd never set foot there again after his family kicked him out, but when his fiancé broke up with him, he needed somewhere familiar to land. There was an opening in the homicide department, but Nikolai wasn't prepared for a serial killer case to be dropped in his lap.

If Frode Bakke touches an object, he sees all the people who have touched it before him. He can't control the influx of faces or break the stream once it's started, and he fears he's one touch away from frying his brain.

Frode might not want to touch anything, but when he gets a call from the homicide department asking for his help, he can't say no. Nikolai doesn't want a psychic anywhere near his investigation, and when said psychic arrives and turns out to be Frode Bakke, his best friend's younger brother, Nikolai throws a fit. Frode takes one look at Nikolai and wants to run out of there. Why had no one told him Nikolai Nesterova was back in town?
