Synopsis

"Parent maintains suspense throughout and throws in more than a few surprises along the way to a satisfying resolution." Publishers WeeklyFate in plain sight.Major Crimes Detective Samantha Reilly prefers to work alone—she’s seen as a maverick, and she still struggles privately with the death of her partner. The only person who ever sees her softer side is Michael Turcotte, a teenager she’s known since she rescued him eleven years ago from the aftermath of his parents’ murder-suicide.In foster care since his parents’ death, Michael is a loner who tries to fly under the bullies’ radar, but a violent assault triggers a disturbing ability to view people’s dark futures. No one believes his first vision means anything, though—not even Sam Reilly. When reality mimics his prediction, however, Sam isn’t the only one to take notice. A strange girl named Tessa Masterson asks Michael about her future, and what he sees sends him back to Sam—is Tessa victim or perpetrator?Tessa’s tangled secrets draw Michael and Sam inexorably into a deadly conflict. Sam relies on Michael, but his only advantage is the visions he never asked for. As they track a cold and calculating killer, one misstep could turn the hunters into prey.

Goodreads review by Laurie (barksbooks) on February 10, 2017

This review and the rest of the crap I write can be seen @ my blog Bark's Book Nonsense. Stop by and say hey. Seeing Evil is a book about the evil human beings inflict on one another. It’s more thriller than horror but has a few disturbing scenes that fall more into the horror realm. Michael was tr......more

Goodreads review by Evans on September 04, 2015

Gripping. Suspenseful. Touching. A truly fine novel. I first discovered Jason Parent a few years ago, around the same time I'd been reading David Wong's This Book Is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch It. Still craving another dose of comedy-tinged horror, Parent's first novel, What Hides......more

Detective Sam Reilly and Michael first encountered one another on a crime scene when Michael was just a young toddler. Found in the throes of a violent scene involving his parents made m......more
