I killed a girl today, just after the school bell.
I keep trying to tell myself I didn't really kill her.
But she's dead. And it's my fault.
14-year-old Ciaran Bain is a highly trained fighter and gifted criminal
with a special talent: he knows what his victim is thinking.
He works in a mafia-style family of gangsters, thieves and thugs who
share his mind-reading talent. But Ciaran's skill comes with a crippling
side effect, one that makes him disposable -- even to his own family.
Then he meets Lucy, whose older sister has been killed, and they form an
unlikely team. But on their perilous search across London and up to
Edinburgh, on the run from Ciaran's dangerous family, can they ever
trust each other?
And where can they hide if they aren't even safe in their own minds?
Award-winning author Lari Don skillfully weaves a fast-paced world of
secrets, power and supernatural abilities in her first book for young
teens.
