About
Their lives are hanging by a thread, forty stories above the street. And a madman is trying to shoot them down.
Graham Harris was once one of the world's foremost mountain climbers, until a fall five years earlier left him with a lame leg, a fear of heights...and a frightening psychic ability in which he can see murders as they are happening.
