Brilliance

In Wyoming, a little girl reads people's darkest secrets by the way they fold their arms. In New York, a man sensing patterns in the stock market racks up $300 billion. In Chicago, a woman can go invisible by being where no one is looking. They're called "e;brilliants,"e; and since 1980, one percent of people have been born this way. Nick Cooper is among them; a federal agent, Cooper has gifts rendering him exceptional at hunting terrorists. His latest target may be the most dangerous man alive, a brilliant drenched in blood and intent on provoking civil war. But to catch him, Cooper will have to violate everything he believes in-and betray his own kind.From Marcus Sakey, "e;a modern master of suspense"e; (Chicago Sun-Times) and "e;one of our best storytellers"e; (Michael Connelly), comes an adventure that's at once breakneck thriller and shrewd social commentary; a gripping tale of a world fundamentally different and yet horrifyingly similar to our own, where being born gifted can be a terrible curse.A 2013 Edgar Award Nominee"e;The kind of story you've never read before."e; -Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher Series"e;Ridiculously good.
