A 2013 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Paperback Original In Wyoming, a little girl reads people's darkest secrets by the way they fold their arms.
In New York, a man sensing patterns in the stock market racks up $300 billion.
In Chicago, a woman can go invisible by being where no one is looking.
They're called -brilliants, - and since 1980, one percent of people have been born this way.
Nick Cooper is among them; a federal agent, Cooper has gifts rendering him exceptional at hunting terrorists.
His latest target may be the most dangerous man alive, a brilliant drenched in blood and intent on provoking civil war.
But to catch him, Cooper will have to violate everything he believes in--and betray his own kind.
From Marcus Sakey, -a modern master of suspense- (Chicago Sun-Times) and -one of our best storytellers- (Michael Connelly), comes an adventure that's at once breakneck thriller and shrewd social commentary; a gripping tale of a world fundamentally different and yet horrifyingly similar to our own, where being born gifted can be a terrible curse.
