A Jennings & O'Shea Novel

Journalist Meg and tech industry dropout Riley are forced together to solve the shared problem of their missing parents and inexplicable sensory powers.

Meg and Riley embark on a journey to find a mysterious retreat located somewhere in the Northwest. The trip takes them from tiny hamlets to big cities where they encounter everything from digestively challenged buzzards to tone-deaf musicians dressed like Klingons having a fashion disaster.

While Meg faces her fear of snakes, slugs, and scary oversized beetles in the garden, Riley works to get an ancient vehicle, aptly named Lurch, to run again. Although espionage can be a filthy job, the pair learn a lot about themselves, their families, and each other as they work to find out what's going on. But when their investigation steers them toward a high-tech conspiracy, both their lives and their hard-won knowledge could be eliminated permanently.
