The Unseen

Heather Graham. Mira, $24.95 (352p) ISBN 978-0-7783-1329-8

In this satisfying paranormal thriller from bestseller Graham (Night of the Vampires), U.S. Marshal Kelsey O’Brien, at the request of the FBI, joins forces with Texas Ranger Logan Raintree in a quest for a possible serial killer. Kelsey believes the key to solving the murders of numerous women in and around San Antonio might be related to her visions while staying in room 207 of the historic Longhorn, a saloon-hotel where two women were slain 150 years apart. In the course of their investigation, Kelsey and Logan, who can communicate with ghosts, consult the spirit world, in particular a helpful apparition at the Alamo. Kelsey and Logan’s mutual attraction leads to some sizzling love scenes, while Logan must face emotions he’s hidden since his wife’s murder three years earlier. Graham deftly weaves elements of mystery, the paranormal, and romance into a tight plot that will keep the reader guessing at the true nature of the killer’s evil. Agent: Aaron Priest, Aaron M.
