The Vision » (Reprint)

New York Times bestselling author Heather Graham has written more than a hundred novels, many of which have been featured by the Doubleday Book Club and the Literary Guild. An avid scuba diver, ballroom dancer and mother of five, she still enjoys her south Florida home, but loves to travel as well.

The gift of sight comes at a dangerous price.

When Deep Down Salvage begins the hunt for the Josephine Marie, it seems like any other dive…until Genevieve Wallace sees the vision of a dead woman in the water, her vacant eyes boring into Genevieve's very soul.

Terrified and confused by what she saw, Genevieve is haunted by the memory, but no one—including her diving partner Thor Thompson—believes her. When a dead woman washes up on shore, everyone assumes this is Genevieve's "vision," but Genevieve knows the truth: the dead woman is not the ghost she saw but another victim of the same brutal killer.

Sensing that the threat of death is coming closer, she and Thor are forced to acknowledge that some things can't be explained, but simply are. Somehow they have to link a violent past with a present-day mystery or risk losing themselves in an abyss of terror.

Publishers Weekly

In this swift romantic thriller from bestseller Heather Graham, diver Genevieve Wallace becomes embroiled in a mystery after she sees the body of a woman floating 50 feet below the ocean's surface, reaching out with dead hands. Gen is a member of a Florida Keys diving team searching for the wreckage of the Marie Josephine, a 19th-century ship rumored to carry a pirate cache. Gen is the only one to see the body, and fellow diver Thor Thompson doesn't trust her. His reluctance to work with her, however, gives way when their attraction sparks a steamy affair. Thor refuses to believe Gen's sighting until he wakes to find seawater inexplicably soaking into Gen's bedclothes and floor. When a different woman's body washes ashore, and evidence indicates there's a killer on the loose, the paranormal craftily collides with reality, and the meaning behind Gen's vision begins to come into focus. Graham's rich, balanced thriller sizzles with equal parts suspense, romance and the paranormal-all of it nail-biting. (July) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
