Riley Thompson is back and her instincts might not be enough this time...A devastating loss sends police officer Riley Thompson into a tail-spin and focusing on her job or her personal life proves impossible. The man who meant so much to her has left behind a message she can't yet understand. It isn't until rumors of an illicit gambling ring surface that the pieces of the puzzle start to move into place. And when an innocent woman is murdered, all eyes shift to the one who is rumored to operate the ring. It will be up to Riley to convince Captain Dan Ward to confront those behind the high-stakes crimes, certain the message points to them. The tight-knit officers inside the Owensville Police Department soon come together in a dangerous sting operation to expose the truth. The stakes are high and Riley is ready to strike out on her own, using everything in her arsenal to bring down the operation, even if that means using her gift to control the outcome. However, there is one who issues a dire warning to Riley that the cost might be too great if she chooses to intervene with her extraordinary abilities. When the time comes for Riley to make her choice, which way will she turn?

In recent years, Riley Thompson has developed a gift, if anyone would really call it that. The ten year old girl from a small town in Indiana doesn't understand why she can feel what others feel, or see what others have seen. She only knows the hurt upon looking into the eyes of her mother-the beneficiary of her father's recent run of bad luck. A streak that has hardened his heart and often finds him drowning in the bottom of a bottle. She tries hard to be just like the other fifth graders, but life at home is hard and the pain is difficult to endure. It isn't until the day Riley meets Carl Boyd, a Vietnam veteran, that everything changes. Visions of a terrible past, not just from war, but from a life that has stolen much from him, begins to surface in Riley's mind. But this is far more intense and frightening than anything she has experienced before. Riley discovers her gift is quickly evolving and finds herself swimming in the memories of Carl Boyd, and experiencing a past he can't put behind him. Even more troubling; perceiving a future of which he doesn't yet know-a future filled with danger. All are reluctant to come to terms with Riley's ability, especially her father. But then, he has seen this before. **Publisher's Note: ** Robin Mahle has relaunched this novel, formerly titled Inherent Clarity

When a small town in rural Virginia gathers for its annual Independence Day parade, the celebrations are abruptly halted at the discovery of the first homicide the town has seen in a decade. The local police lieutenant believes he has a handle on the investigation until a second body turns up in the river. And when Special Agent Kate Reid, the FBI's star profiler, is called to assist, the lieutenant reluctantly accepts the offer. However, it isn't long before the two butt heads on how best to proceed. Given the unique signature of the murders that resembles a form of torture, Kate knows the lieutenant is in over his head. In a matter of days, another body is found on the highway. Same signature. Kate realizes time is running out because a photo is discovered in a victim's bedroom that reveals the three who have been murdered are in the picture together. Three more in the photo are still alive. The case has brought interest from the rest of the team at BAU Quantico, and the head of the unit authorizes more assistance. Kate welcomes help from Agents Jonathan Surrey and Levi Walsh. But what they hadn't counted on was the discovery that the murders appeared to mimic those that occurred in the town nearly 200 years earlier. Kate and the team wage a desperate search to learn who knew about those murders because with only three in the photograph left alive, whoever it is seems determined to kill every last one.
