Very Bad Deaths

The heartbroken recluse¿

The hardboiled cop¿

The walking wounded telepath¿

And the serial killer.

Russell Walker retreats from the shock of his wife¿s death by becoming a hermit in the woods of British Columbia. However, it seems the world won't let him escape so easily, for he finds himself thrust into a precarious role as intermediary between a telepath called Smelly¿so sensitive he can¿t stand to be near most people¿and Constable Nika, a skeptical police officer who needs Smelly¿s insight to track down a monstrous serial killer.
