Beats The Silence of the Lambs for suspense--it's the kind of book
that had me literally gasping aloud as it rattled to its incredible
conclusion.
--Cory Doctorow, New York Times bestselling author of Homeland
What if the most terrifying person you know is your ten-year-old
sister?
Seventeen-year-old Aussie Che Taylor loves his younger sister, Rosa. But
he's also certain that she's a psychopath--clinically, threateningly,
dangerously. Recently Rosa has been making trouble, hurting things. Che
is the only one who knows; he's the only one his sister trusts. Rosa is
smart, talented, pretty, and very good at hiding what she is and the
manipulation she's capable of.
Their parents, whose business takes the family from place to place,
brush off the warning signs as Rosa's "acting out." Now that they have
moved again--from Bangkok to New York City--their new hometown provides
far too many opportunities for Rosa to play her increasingly complex and
disturbing games. Che's always been Rosa's rock, protecting her from the
world. Now, the world might need protection from her.
