Victor is a medium. He sees dead people, which is exactly as much fun as it sounds like. But for a cop, it's a useful skill, which is why the Paranormal Investigation team was founded.
This volume contains the first two (of five, to date) of the Psycop novels.
In Among the Living, Victor's new case pairs him with Jacob, a non-psychic who works in sex crimes. Victor and Jacob have a history, and as they work together to solve a set of serial crimes, they begin to explore the possibilities of a future. Soon Victor finds that he's the only one who can solve the crime, and save Jacob's life. If he's not too late.
In Criss Cross, Victor's abilities spiral out of control, and he starts hurting Jacob unintentionally. Can he and Jacob figure out what's happening in time to save Victor from becoming a pawn in a dangerous game?
I loved these stories: they are not just angsty romance tales, but have a tense crime story and well-realised characters. Victor is frankly, a bit of a mess: the only way he can stop the dead taking over his life is to take (too many) anti-psyactive drugs, but you can't help loving him and wanting things to work out between him and the wonderfully grounded and protective Jacob.
Oh, and the sex is hot! ;)
