Publisher's Summary:

In 1989, a school bus filled with young children disappears. It drove into a tunnel, a tunnel with no exits, and did not drive out. Witnesses saw the bus go in. No one saw it come out. It vanished into thin air as a community panics. Everyone panics.

Everyone except for a 24-year-old college dropout named Jacob Thorne.

In 2004, three people are brutally murdered, two of them in a sealed panic room, a room locked from the inside. The only trace evidence is a single hair from the suspect. A suspect that has been dead for three months, killed by the same people who were just murdered in the panic room. Everyone is convinced a ghost has come back from the grave to avenge a murder.

Everyone, that is, except for a young DC homicide detective suffering from PTSD named Emma Kane.

To be a profiler, it takes more than just research and hard work. It takes more than simply brains. It takes...talent. And you need to have it from the very beginning. Talents - An Emma Kane/Jacob Thorne thriller. An origin story of two very unique people.

Members Reviews:

Loved It!

I loved this book, which is a prequel & shows how Emma & Jacob started working with the FBI. Jacob's background with his dad & his dad's partner are featured & show us a lot about how the Jacob of today came to be. Gives us the info on Emma's background too. Realistic situations & well written characters move the story along quickly. It was one of those rare books where I kept checking how far along I was on my Kindle, because I didn't want it to end.

If you like a good crime novel, check out this whole series. You won't be sorry.

Another Winner!

Another winner for Todd Travis! This book is made up of two separate prequel stories involving Kane and Thorne's earlier years before the actions of the previous two books happened. A combination of crime mysteries coupled with their own personalities made this a hard book to stop reading. Jacob Thorne is a 24 year old spending his time making money from playing chess with strangers at $10 a win when Kimberly Stevens approches him with an offer of finding his father, but they end up with the mystery of the disappearance of a bus load of kids and their driver. Emma Kane's story takes place after "the Van Incident" where she is sent to solve a multiple murder mystery. The stories remind me of Sherlock Holmes where the reader is presented with a set of crime facts that is a real puzzle. I would have to say that the author writes some of the toughest women personalities in literature that I've read which I really enjoy. If you haven't read the other two books "Creatures of Appetites" and "Trophies" I highly recommend them for twisted crime stories. Looking forward to book number 4!

Love him and his stories

Todd Travis is my dark hero. I love his complex characters and his involved stories that keep you reading through the night. I love to hate him when he leaves me literally hanging in every ending but it only makes the anticipation that much sweeter. I cant wait for his next one. Extra bonus.....we get to see what his next steps are as we have received a copy for review of his next novella. Thank you Todd!! You magic man

Excellent characters

I absolutely loved these books. Read every one of them in less than 2 days.
