Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Dark Arts is the second book in the Personal Effects series.Zach Taylor is assigned to the blind Serial Killer suspect Martin Grace in order to determine if he is fit to stand trial. Grace is implicated in twelve brutal murders, many of which he described to the victims in detail days beforehand. Grace says that he simply "saw" the deaths beforehand and that they were really carried out by the "Dark Man" stalking him. The murders ceased after the onset of his psychosomatic blindness.
