Detective Kathy Mallory chases a multiple murderer, but her real concern is the boy who is not dead-yet-in this thrilling novel from the New York Times-bestselling author. A blind child and a Catholic nun disappear from a city sidewalk in plain sight of onlookers. There, then gone—vanished in seconds. Those who witnessed the event still cannot believe it happened.It was all too real. Mallory and the NYPD's Special Crimes Unit enter the investigation when the nun's body is found with three other corpses in varying stages of decomposition left on the lawn of Gracie Mansion, home to the mayor of New York City. Sister Michael was the last to die. The child, Jonah Quill, is still missing.Like Jonah, the police are blind. Unknown to them, he is with a stone killer, and though he has unexpected resources of his own, his would-be saviors have no suspect, no useful evidence, and no clue—except for Detective Mallory's suspicions of things not said and her penchant for getting to the truth beneath lies. Behind her back, the squad's name for her is Mallory the Machine, yet she has a dark understanding of what it is to be human. A child is waiting, time is running out, and atop her list of liars is the mayor himself...and a theory of the crimes in which no sane cop could believe.

"What would you do if you never knew if tomorrow would be your last day? If you had one brother who hated you, one who loved you, a guardian angel, and an uncle who was more like your father, would you be able to survive? <br/><br/>Seventeen year old Jordan does it on a daily basis. She has seen more evil in her life than most see in their entire lifetime, yet she's still strong and fighting through it all. Jordan is what is known as a seer. She has visions of evil and the things that it does. Then she relays the information to her brothers, Quinn and Nathan so that they can go track down said evil and kill it. This has been her entire life for as long as she can remember, until now...<br/><br/>When Jordan doesn't do as she's told, she is punished not only physically, but emotionally as well. She learns a few things about one of her brothers that she probably never wanted to hear. Not only that but she is now being visited by demons on a daily basis. <br/><br/>When she's forced to go on a hunt with her brothers and uncle, she soon realizes that her whole life was a lie. The demons are coming out of the woodwork and telling her that she belongs to them. Plus, her guardian angel jumped ship. Could life get any worse for Jordan? <br/><br/>When faced with certain death as well as the death of her family, she decides that death would be the lesser of two evils. She'd rather be dead than live alone without her brothers and uncle. Does Jordan get her wish? Or does something derail that and make her life worse than she ever thought possible? <br/><br/>I thoroughly enjoyed this story because it was one of the ones that you can't put down after you pick it up. The author did a splendid job at not giving any details away until she was ready to reveal them. I can't wait to see what's in store next for Jordan and her family."
