Book description
Max Shannon is a good cop, one of the best in New York Enforcement.
Born with a natural shield that protects him against Psy mental
invasions, he knows he has little chance of advancement within the
Psy-dominated power structure. The last case he expects to be assigned
is that of a murderer targeting a Psy Councilor's closest advisors. And
the last woman he expects to compel him in the most sensual of ways is a
Psy on the verge of a catastrophic mental fracture... Sophia Russo is a
Justice-Psy, cursed with the ability to retrieve memories from men and
women so twisted even veteran cops keep their distance. Appointed as
Max's liaison with the Psy, she finds herself fascinated by this human,
her frozen heart threatening to thaw with forbidden emotion. But, her
mind filled with other people's nightmares, other people's evil, she's
standing on the border between sanity and a silken darkness that urges
her to take justice into her own hands, to become judge, jury... and
executioner... Nalini Singh was born in Fiji and raised in New
Zealand. She spent three years living and working in Japan, and
travelling around Asia before returning to New Zealand - although she's
always plotting new trips. She has worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a
candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher, not
necessarily in that order. Some people might call that inconsistency,
but she calls it grist for the writer's mill.
