This is the second dark, dangerous book in Liu’s Dirk & Steele series – an international detective agency working for the common good, with a little difference! Their secret ‘detectives’ all have X-Men type powers. Shapeshifters, healers, mind readers, fire-starters, the works! Russian Artur Loginov, for example, simply touches a person or thing and ‘knows’ all their memories. Imagine his anguish when seeking murderers, ‘knowing’ the victim’s emotions and thoughts as they die. A ghastly burden!
Consequently he always wears protective clothing and gloves, so his skin doesn’t brush against something with terrible memories that instantly become his. Civilian Elena Baxter is a secret healer. She sneaks into hospital wards and places her hands on terminally ill patients, especially children. Her power flows into their bodies to heal them at the heart of their disease. She ‘knows’ them from the inside out. The two meet in terrifying circumstances – they’re both kidnapped, beaten, caged, stripped and tested by cruel doctors in an unknown bunker. A malignant presence is behind their kidnaps, with terrifying, evil plans. You’ll shudder when you hear the words ‘the Quiet Man’, and your heart will pound as Artur struggles with horrific infected mind games. Their companions in their desperate escape are – wow! More than human! When Elena and Artur finally come together, it’s cataclysmic. A thrilling, intense read!
Elena poured herself into his body, laying the groundwork for his healing, binding her strength into his. She was not kind. She was not gentle. She slammed his wound with power, her skin burning with a charge, burning so hot she felt the men back away from her. She had never used her gift in such a way; it had been always gentle, always coaxing – not this rape of another, raping to heal, overwhelming the body’s own natural abilities to force it faster, faster, faster… Artur was dying. Again, dying. I am sorry, she heard inside his fading mind. Shut up, she said. Save your strength… |
