The art of deception

Seattle police forensic psychologist Daphne Matthews, who volunteers as a teenage runaway counsellor, is haunted by the loss of a suicide, a 'jumper', from a year earlier. When a woman's body is found beneath the Aurora Bridge, Matthews is one of the first on the scene and begins a puzzling investigation that is entangled with the pasts of Matthews, the victim, and even Seattle itself. Then the stalking begins: the eerie phone calls, the noises outside the house, the shadows that move in the night. Terrified, Matthews engages in a mental game of cat-and-mouse. She knows that she is caught up in something that could kill her if she can't solve the homicide.
