Caleb is a loner in London, out of touch with the rest of the world due to his "gift". He tries to keep it a secret because some people would try to make him use it to their benefit, try to dissect him to find the source of his gift, or see if it could be replicated in others. When strangers in suits start showing up and ask him to come with them he is immediately suspicious--how did they find him, how did they get his phone number, who told? There is a code among the loose knit group of gifted that no one tells anyone anything about other gifteds, but somehow his secret is out, and someone wants to use him.He is lucky--the people in suits are the good guys and need his help. They don't even know what his gift is, just that someone hinted he might be able to help them. And they have the money to convince him that helping might not be such a bad thing after all since he is earning pennies a day with his street magic act, there is no food in his fridge, and he lives in a dump.Caleb has a great quirky sense of humor and uses it to relieve tension frequently. Unfortunately the suits don't laugh or smile, but I did. I loved hearing about London and looking up the obscure street slang. I have a friend that lives there and could relate much of what he says about London to Caleb's observations.I hope there will be more stories about Caleb and his adventures. I like him and would love to spend some more time with him. Now that the good guys know where to find him I'm sure there are lots more crimes he could help solve.
