Publisher's Synopsis
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.
