Seeing Evil

A teenager's ability to see the future proves to be a curse when his warnings are ignored in Parent's heartrending thriller set in Fall River, Mass. Loving foster parents raise Michael Turcotte after he witnessed his parents' murder-suicide at age three. In ninth grade, Michael is bullied by Glenn Rodrigues, who also picks on a friend of Michael's, Jimmy Rafferty. When Michael has a vision of Jimmy confronting Glenn with a gun and shooting the kid dead in the school hallway, Michael's closest adult friend, police detective Samantha "Sam" Reilly, who met him the night he became an orphan, tells Michael it was only a dream. Tragically, despite Michael's efforts to stop Jimmy, he guns down his tormentor just as Michael foresaw. Sam switches from skeptic to believer and even uses Michael to assist in a missing-persons case. Parent maintains suspense throughout and throws in more than a few surprises along the way to a satisfying resolution. [em](BookLife) [/em]
