What if just by thinking about someone you could control their lives.The story starts in 1984 telling the story of the brutal bullying of a boy named Adam Henderson.Roxley Hart is making his life a complete misery but Adam doesn't know why. He never used to be like this.Roxley soon ends up dead with no reasonable explanation.27 years later....A number of unexplained deaths have been happening and only one man seems to be responsible.A determined cop wants to find the truth and embarks on a risky investigation delving into the life of a man with a tortured past.I really wanted to enjoy this book. The concepts are intriguing, the idea you could control the fate of others just by thinking about them is a great basis for a story with endless possibilities.Unfortunately I found this book lacking in detail and the investigation seemed to happen way too quickly.Each character in the story is developed well enough but to me a few of them were completely unnecessary creating inconsistencies in the plot as it developed.Also I thought the idea that a cop would include his wife into the investigation dragging her and his kids across the world and putting them at risk was just too unbelievable.I am hoping the sequel will take this story in a better direction developing this strange ability.
