2 superpowers at odds - and Grant Markey is right in the middle! Action in 8 cities on 3 continents - in 1 different kind of suspense/thriller! Grant Markey, a gem and collectibles dealer in Natchez, Mississippi, has the psychic ability to probe the mind of any person on earth, and he doesn't even know it....at least not yet. But his Ole Miss fraternity brother, now CIA Deputy Director Tony Russell, realizes his potential and wants Grant to covertly work for the CIA. Grant uncovers an imminent attack on the U.S. financial system by a powerful, rogue Chinese official. Chaos ensues - assassination attempts, shoot-outs, kidnappings, counter-attacks, killings, and suicides. The selection of China's next supreme leader depends on the outcome, and the Russians have their own interests at play. Natchez, Washington, D.C., New York, Paris, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Beijing, and Baton Rouge - the plot moves between locations at the speed of travel and the speed of thought! Along the way, Grant discovers he has new and enhanced psychic powers but doesn't tell anyone. He realizes his special abilities place him in extreme danger - from any person or country with secrets to protect. And Grant struggles with the moral dilemma - when to use his immense power and when to not? And he wonders when, if ever, can he return to a normal life?
