Solace Plot Summary

What happens in Solace from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

FBI Agent Joe Merriwether and criminal psychologist Dr Katherine Cowles are investigating a series of murders carried out with elaborate methods. With little progress, Merriwether decides he needs to consult with a former colleague, and psychic, Dr John Clancy. Clancy has lived in isolation since the death of his daughter two years before. He is capable of seeing the future, or possibilities of futures, from a mere touch of a person.

Merriwether seems unable to convince Clancy to take part in the case, but when Cowles enters and touches him on the shoulder after giving him the case files, he envisions a violent future event with blood spilling down Cowles’s forehead, among other insights into her life. Clancy reluctantly agrees. Cowles’ initial skepticism of his gift soon gives way.
