She had the perfect life.
She had the perfect cover.
She was the perfect witness.
Until they found her.
When Teresa Casali was young she
discovered she had a strange gift: the ability to read people’s
memories. But the gift seemed more like a curse as her mob boss father
used her to gain the upper hand in his world of corruption and
violence. Exposed by her own family to the darkest impulses of mankind,
Teresa is alone and unprotected. She realizes that if she is to
survive, she has to run.
Out of nowhere, or so she
believes, a man by the name of Andre Mandak appears. He kills her
pursuers—but that’s not nearly enough for Teresa to trust him. It is his
promise to get her into Witness Protection, along with his mind-blowing
ability to help her control her gift before it consumes her, that
convinces Teresa Casali to become Allie Girard. Living a normal life
with a new family, she shuts the door to the past …although Mandak is
clear: when the time is right, he too will benefit from her powers.
For years Allie flourishes …until
the day her cover is blown and the truth comes tumbling out. Once
again she is on the run, with her own life and those of her loved ones
at stake. But this time she will not be a pawn. This time she will use
her finely honed gift to end the threat that began with her family’s
betrayal. From perfect target to perfect witness, Allie Girard is ready
to take on the past even if it kills her.
