The bride collector / Ted Dekker.
FBI Special agent Brad Raines is facing his toughest case yet. A Denver serial killer has killed four beautiful young women, leaving a bridal veil at each crime scene, and he's picking up his pace. Unable to crack the case, Raines appeals for help from a most unusual source: residents of the Center for Wellness and Intelligence, a private psychiatric institution for mentally ill individuals whose are extraordinarily gifted. It's there that he meets Paradise, a young woman who witnessed her father murder her family and barely escaped his hand. Diagnosed with schizophrenia, Paradise may also have an extrasensory gift: the ability to experience the final moments of a person's life when she touches the dead body. In a desperate attempt to find the killer, Raines enlists Paradise's help. In an effort to win her trust, he befriends this strange young woman and begins to see in her qualities that most 'sane people' sorely lack. Gradually, he starts to question whether sanity resides outside the hospital walls... or inside.
When a serial killer claims his fourth victim, FBI Special Agent Brad Raines contacts the Center for Wellness and Intelligence, a psychiatric hospital for gifted but troubled individuals. As he profiles the killer, who taunts authorities by leaving bridal veils at his crime scenes, Raines is assisted by Paradise, a young schizophrenic with the ability to experience the victims' final moments. Events start getting extremely personal to Raines when a friend becomes the killer's next target.
