註釋Moments after their mother's murder, ten-year-old genetic mutant Meg Adamson and her teenage brother Jake flee assassin-for-hire, Huey Rawlins, who's determined to find the kids and sell them back to SynAg Solutions, the company that mutated their family generations before. Jake hears the thoughts of everyone within blocks of him, but he won't tell Meg who killed their mother, only that she can't trust anyone but him, not even the police.With her secretive brother and three sets of pursuers-Huey, Detective Fawkes, and their manipulative uncle Matt, who slips through obstacles-Meg doesn't know who to believe. She only knows someone murdered their mom at Christmas, Huey's two steps behind them, and her brother's dragging her across the county to her father's farm.The continual chaos of strangers' thoughts weakens Jake, slowing their flight to rural nowhere. Meg has no place to go but forward, into a blizzard where Huey can't track them, and with no one to help them but a kind-hearted stranger with her own tortured past.
