First and Only
Synopsis
This isn’t the first time the psychic and the psychopath have met. As a boy Simon had another vision – of the killer slaughtering his best friend. Simon couldn’t stop that crime, and the tragedy turned him into a coward, unable to really use his powers.
In the present, Simon hires a troubled ex-SAS soldier as a bodyguard. But when MI5 intervene and try to grab Simon for their own nefarious purposes, the plan goes awry. With the bodyguard out of action, the killer murders his way closer and closer to Simon.
In the killer’s secret lair, Simon is at the point of excruciating death. Will he finally realise the true extent of his powers – and how to use them to save his own life?
