Pictures of the Dead


Book Description

Pictures of the Dead involves 14 random murders in which the victims had their eyes severed with precision and viciousness. There were no indications of theft or sexual assault but these attacks were of such exactness, brutality, and cunning that the police knew that this could not be the work of a typical psychopath. No, this had to be someone more brilliant and sadistic. Enter Dr. Tyr Domino. The beginning question is: If there is a proven existence of Photographic Memory, is it possible to actually photograph memory? Can we remove a person's eyes and attempt to photograph their past visions? And if we are to remove them: How? Dr. Tyr Domino must know the answer to these questions. He has taken the New York Art Society by storm with his incredible photographs of indescribable visions. Two seasoned police detectives have been relentlessly pursuing this unknown attacker through the corporate and public maze of confusion and terror. Will they become victims of this sadistic madman? All the while, a blind psychic, Kelley Scotto, living far away from the City and the escalating chaos, sculpts the visions that haunt her constant nightmares.
