Since You've Been Gone - Softcover

"Carlene Thompson creates smart, interesting characters the reader cares about within a gripping suspense story."--Judith Kelman, author of "After the Fall"

A decade ago, teenaged clairvoyant Rebecca Ryan gained notoriety helping the local police solve high-profile cases. Then came the shocking kidnapping that hit close to home; the first crime she couldn't solve. Haunted by guilt since the shattering day her beloved kid brother was found murdered, Rebecca has finally made a frsh start in New Orleans. Then comes the all-too-familiar vision: Mind-numbing terror. Shattering pain. The grim certainty that somewhere, a child has been kidnapped from his bed in the middle of the night. A child who shares Rebecca's last name-and perhaps, her brother's grim fate. Back in quaint Sinclair, West Virginia, Rebecca intends to use her psychic gift to find her cousin's missing son before it's too late. But some people in town-and in the Ryan household itself-still resent her for what her second sight did. Some haven't forgiven her for what it couldn't do. And one vengeful soul is determined that Rebecca and her family will once again pay a deadly ransom...
