The Freak— Freak is a nasty word, but that’s what the residents of River Bend, Indiana call psychic, Gabby McAllister, freak or witch, or just crazy. Gabby isn’t your typical psychic. She can’t tell your future, but she can “see” things when she touches certain items, or people. She is feared by many, and ridiculed by most. . The Victim -- The bones of a murdered woman are found in a field, buried and forgotten for years. The police have no clues to who she is, let alone who killed her. Only Gabby and her gift can give them answers. . The Detectives – Recently promoted to head detective, Dustin McAllister desperately wants to keep his reputation clean. With his mom in prison and the town crazy as a sister, it’s not easy. He’d rather pretend he’s not Gabby’s brother than admit he needs her help. His partner, Lucas Hartley, draws Gabby into the investigation, setting off a chain of events that will change them all. . The Killer – No one believes Gabby and the message she received from the bones. Except the one man who knows the truth in her visions. The killer she hunts. Now he hunts her…. . Quirky, fun, and un-put-downable! less
