In Wyoming, a little girl reads peoples 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. Theyre 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 thats 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.A 2013 Edgar Award NomineeThe kind of story youve never read before. -Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher SeriesRidiculously good.
