BARELY A WEEK has passed since she solved her last case and Nola Lantri is already involved in several new mysteries-with a couple of people who may be just as unusual as Nola herself. Vibe Eric Lafferty returns to Redfort City a little too late for his father's funeral but just in time to get mixed-up in a mystery that involves Nola Lantri, Grayson Bryant, a dead girl, and a missing woman. Eric's ability to read the vibrational changes in brain waves should be an asset, yet it only seems to make life more difficult for him-and given that he and Nola might be the next victims, things are difficult enough. Sync Emjay used to steal things-nothing big, just enough to get by-but after a terrible accident changes her life, Emjay has only one thing on her mind: revenge. Suddenly private investigator Nola Lantri appears and questions Emjay about her past-and informs her that the mysterious man she works for has a complicated past of his own. Emjay must figure out the best use of her odd ability to "sync," a technique intended to help people heal-but one that also can cause a lot of harm.
