Scenting Evil: Crime Fiction from the Case Files of a Crime-Solving Clairvoyant (Capital Crimes) [Paperback]

D.J. Adams (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2002 | Series: Capital Crimes

Some years ago in a small Southern town, two seven-year-old girls were mysteriously kidnapped from their homes with little trace, striking terror into the hearts and minds of a once peaceful, trusting community. "Run, run as fast as you can," he whispers as he grabs each child at play. "You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man." Brought in by the local police when they could not find the two girls, Lindsay Freeman (Adams' fictional crime-solving clairvoyant) delves into the mind of the kidnapper -- seeing, feeling, even smelling his presence. Packed with horror and suspense, D.J. describes the kidnapper as if she were inside his mind and being, feeling with him the demonic urge to steal the little girls as his "pets," and the pain of his own childhood abuse. "I will take care of her for you Mommy, I will stroke and powder the skin of the precious little pet. She is mine now, blow her a kiss in the wind and say good-bye."

If you are a fan of crime drama you are sure to enjoy Scenting Evil.

The story is fast paced and I found it to be very moving and exceptionally chilling.

I am not the author or a friend or family member of the author, and I thought the book was really good. While it's true the author is no Shakespeare, it is worth reading for the scary, intriguing story alone.

This is a great summer beach read!
