520    $a "Utterly original and compulsively readable, a detective story about a woman who uses her uncanny ability to analyze words and speech patterns to help solve crimes. Maggie Moore-tattooed, pierced, and a bit of a mess-is a word genius, able to solve any linguistic puzzle. When she's talent-scouted from the top of her forensic linguistics class and asked to analyze harrowing notes left by a stalker-turned-rapist, she's all over it. And she succeeds. But when the daughter of a local mayor is abducted, Maggieis called upon once again, but this time she isn't sure if she's the right person for the job. Given what happened to her best friend, Maggie might be too close to this one. But the police in this rural south Central Florida town really need Maggie's special skill to crack the case. Along with her new best friend Silas Jackson, a detective, Maggie analyzes the texts, emails and verbal tics of various suspects and comes to a disturbing conclusion . . "-- $c Provided by publisher.
