Very Bad Deaths

The heartbroken recluse…

The hardboiled cop…

The walking wounded telepath…

And the serial killer.

Russell Walker retreats from the shock of his wife''s death by becoming a hermit in the woods of British Columbia. However, it seems the world won''t let him escape so easily, for he finds himself thrust into a precarious role as intermediary between a telepath called Smelly—so sensitive he can''t stand to be near most people—and Constable Nika, a skeptical police officer who needs Smelly''s insight to track down a monstrous serial killer.
