Description: Mary Bergen is a clairvoyant, able to forsee murders that will happen in the near future, but unable to prevent them from taking place. And now she is up against a power that is stronger than her own, a power that is taking her over, a power that is trying to kill her before she can identify it...
Opening: 'GLOVES OF BLOOD.'
The woman raised her hands and stared at them, stared through them.
Her voice was soft but tense. 'Blood on his hands.' Her own hands were clean and pale.
Her husband leaned forward from the back seat of the patrol car. 'Mary?'
She did not respond.
'Mary, can you hear me?'
'Yes.'
'Whose blood do you see?'
'I'm not sure.'
'The victim's blood?'
'No. In fact...it's his own.'
'The killer's?'
'Yes.'
There is a scene just like this circa page 133, yet there is not a hattip accorded to D du M.
A fab little clairvoyant versus poltergeist story with added telekinesis, and as it was no longer than it should be.
