Mockingbird Chuck Wendig

Miriam Black is trying to live an ordinary life, keeping her ability to see how someone dies hidden...until a serial killer crosses her path. This is the second book in the Miriam Black series.

Visceral and often brutal, this tale vibrates with emotional rawness that helps to paint a bleak, unrelenting picture of life on the edge. "Publishers Weekly"

Miriam is trying. Really, she is. But this whole settling down thing just isn t working out.

She lives on Long Beach Island all year in a run-down, double-wide trailer. She works at a grocery store as a checkout girl. And her relationship with Louis who s on the road half the time in his truck is subject to the mood swings Miriam brings to everything she does. It just isn t going well.

Still, she s keeping her psychic ability to see when and how someone is going to die just by touching them in check. But even that feels wrong somehow. Like she s keeping a tornado stopped up in a tiny bottle. Then comes the one bad day that turns it all on her ear.
