Description:

Nothing ruins a romantic evening like a brawl with lowlifes—especially when one of them later turns up dead and my date, Detective Isabella Cherabino, is the #1 suspect. My history with the Atlanta PD on both sides of the law makes me an unreliable witness, so while Cherabino is suspended, I’m paying my bills by taking an FBI gig.     I’ve been hired to play telepathic bodyguard for Tommy, the ten-year-old son of a superior court judge in Savannah presiding over the murder trial of a mob-connected mogul. After an attempt on the kid’s life, the Feds believe he’s been targeted by the businessman’s “associates.” Turns out, Tommy’s a nascent telepath, so I’m trying to help him get a handle on his Ability. But it doesn’t take a mind reader to see that there’s something going on with this kid’s parents that’s stressing him out more than a death threat… ** ### Review **Praise for the Mindspace Investigations Novels** “Science fiction mixed into an almost pulp-noir setting…a great series.”—*News and Sentinel* (Parkersburg, WV) “Reminds me very much (and very fondly) of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files.”—SF Signal “[I]ncisive writing, conflicted characters, and strong plotting, this ..solidifies Hughes’ place on the urban fantasy shelves.”—*Publishers Weekly* ### About the Author **Alex Hughes **is the author of the Mindspace Investigations Novels, including *Clean*, *Sharp*, and *Marked*.
