About this audiobook

Detective H. Grimsson is a city detective, and a damn good one at that, owing much to what he calls his uncanny intuition. However, that's only half the truth of it-detective Grimsson is clairvoyant and frequently sees the grim shadow of death before it approaches. A young college student is found dead in his BMW on a gravel road not far from the city. He was shot at close range. Grimsson suspects that this has something to do with the nudes that the deceased had in his possession. In August, the deceased and his two college friends were at a party where a young girl died from a drug overdose. Is there a link? A few days later another college student is found shot dead in his car. This second victim was also at the party. What Grimsson doesn't know is that a selected group of college students have received anonymous messages from a sinister social media page called Deathbook. Deathbook asks the students to give it a name of a person who is making their life miserable. A few days later, the person they name is found dead. Soon after, they get another message-and only then do they realize that they are caught in an evil web they cannot get out of . . . Contains mature themes.
