Vacant (Mindspace Investigations)

Nothing ruins a romantic evening like a brawl with lowlifes especially when one of them later turns up dead and my date, Detective Isabella Cherabino, is the #1 suspect. My history with the Atlanta PD on both sides of the law makes me an unreliable witness, so while Cherabino is suspended, I m paying my bills by taking an FBI gig.

I ve been hired to play telepathic bodyguard for Tommy, the ten-year-old son of a superior court judge in Savannah presiding over the murder trial of a mob-connected mogul. After an attempt on the kid s life, the Feds believe he s been targeted by the businessman s associates.

Turns out, Tommy s a nascent telepath, so I m trying to help him get a handle on his Ability. But it doesn t take a mind reader to see that there s something going on with this kid s parents that s stressing him out more than a death threat
