I got this book and the sequel several years ago at a writing conference where James spoke ... wish I hadn't waited so long to finally sit down and read it!Intense. I was warned by a friend who is a major fan-girl that his books can be gritty and dark ... yeah, some of the characters make you cheer when they get their due punishment. Let's just put it that way.
But there are others who are just charming, quirky, a delightful relief amid all the darkness and growing tension as Jevin and his brilliant team race to find answers and save lives and unravel the tangled plot that threatens world security.
Not to spoil the story -- because you need to read this -- but Jevin is a magician and escape artist who, after the tragic deaths of his wife and sons, turns to investigation work to uncover frauds and scams. An undercover trip to a center that is studying the supposed telepathic links between people turns into a murder attempt on the head researcher, and then a flight across the country to stop psychic twin assassins.
