Gifts from the Void — Richard Beard

Jasper Milling, a writer living in small-town North Carolina, is awakened from a horrifying dream to find that it wasn't a dream at all. When Jasper's daughter is killed by a drunk driver late one night, Jasper channels into the mind of the killer as he drives away from the scene - seeing and feeling everything that the driver feels. When a phone call wakes Jasper and he learns of his daughter's passing, he realizes the dream was actually a strange connection. Soon he finds out his new ability doesn't stop there. As Jasper waits for the man who killed his daughter to stand trial, more dreams come, more connections - this time, to a serial killer. As the killer stalks his next victim, Jasper must try to find out who he is, where he is and how to stop him before he commits the evil act that he knows is coming. Fearing authorities will think he's crazy, Jasper must act on his own. Through a series of obstacles, Jasper finds himself urged to fight for the life of a woman he doesn't know, by a force he doesn't understand.
