The Body Finder: Kimberly Derting Ever since she was a child, Violet Ambrose could sense dead things by their echoes—unique imprints that the deceased gives off—which also attaches to the killer. The echoes call to Violet, who is unable to resist and she follows them until the source is located. Living in a house surrounded by dense woods, Violet’s father could often be found patiently trailing behind his toddler as she followed the echoes of prey that failed to elude its predator.

When Violet was eight-years-old, the echo that she responded to wasn’t a dead bird or squirrel, but that of a little girl whom Violet found peering out of a shallow grave.
