Mind Games: A Novel Kindle Edition by Nora Roberts (Author)
The #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Identity presents a suspenseful new novel of tragedy and trauma, love and family, and the evil that awaits.
As
they do each June, the Foxes have driven the winding roads of
Appalachia to drop off their children for a two-week stay at their
grandmother’s. Here, twelve-year-old Thea can run free and breathe in
the smells of pine and fresh bread and Grammie’s handmade candles. But
as her parents head back to suburban Virginia, they have no idea they’re
about to cross paths with a ticking time bomb.
Back in Kentucky,
Thea and her grandmother Lucy both awaken from the same nightmare. And
though the two have never discussed the special kind of sight they
share, they know as soon as their tearful eyes meet that something
terrible has happened.
The kids will be staying with Grammie now
in Redbud Hollow, and thanks to Thea’s vision, their parents’ killer
will spend his life in supermax. Over time, Thea will make friends,
build a career, find love. But that ability to see into minds and souls
still lurks within her, and though Grammie calls it a gift, it feels
more like a curse—because the inmate who shattered her childhood has the
same ability. Thea can hear his twisted thoughts and witness his evil
acts from miles away. He knows it, and hungers for vengeance. A long,
silent battle will be waged between them—and eventually bring them face
to face, and head to head…
