Social worker Ramona and her husband Peter receive an unexpected visit from a police officer. They are asked to accompany him to a lake in their village, without him giving them a proper reason or explanation. But Ramona already knows. As they get into the car she can visualise the young woman lying dead in a boat. She doesn't know who she is. And neither does the police.

The local police are aided by an investigator from Stockholm who becomes friendly with Peter and who soon learns about Ramona's unique gift of sensing glimpses of a person's life, details they would rather have kept in the dark. Due to the lack of leads, he convinces Ramona to help the investigation. But to see who is responsible for the murder of the unidentified woman, she must reach deeper than she has ever done before. To simply know more than others is not enough. In order to understand whom they are dealing with she needs to know exactly what to look out for. 

The Omniscient is the first book about Ramona Lindh - a powerful and eerie suspense novel about the circumstances and actions that make a person a victim or a perpetrator.
