Cold cases get hot in this unputdownable mystery from Jennifer Lynn
Barnes, no.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games
series. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.
Cassie is a natural at reading people. Piecing together the tiniest
details, she can tell you who you are and what you want. But it's not a
skill that she's ever taken seriously until the FBI come knocking:
they've begun a classified programme that uses exceptional teenagers to
crack infamous cold cases, and they need Cassie.
What Cassie doesn't realise is that there's more at risk than a few
unsolved murders - especially when she's sent to live with a group of
teens whose gifts are as unusual as her own. Soon, it becomes clear
that no one in the Naturals program is what they seem. And when a new
killer strikes, danger looms close. Caught in a lethal game of cat and
mouse with a killer, the Naturals are going to have to use all of their
gifts just to survive . . .
Born smart. Born tough. Born FBI.
