🔎 Point & Click 🗺️ Adventure 👩 Female Protagonist 🤫 Mystery 📚 Story Rich

FBI agent Erica Reed has an uncanny talent: she can see the past and piece together how a crime unfolded. But not even this sixth sense could save her younger brother, Scott, from a brutal serial killer. Three years later, the investigation into Scott’s murder has gone cold -- but Erica’s work has only just begun.
