Sight Unseen

What a great cast of characters: Ethan Snow - who helped out John Edmonds [in the previous book]is still tracking The Covenant and getting nowhere. Now he tracks down the psychic, Raine McAllister. Raine McAllister - she is a sculpter now and has helped the police locate abducted children. She is bothered by the vision that invaded her when she touched her work "the running man". Then Snow shows up. Griff Cabot - is back on the scene with Snow who found the descrepancy in how the charity funding was distributed. Raising the question of terrorists operating in this country. He is the undisputed head of Phoenix. Montgomery Gardner - as the former DCI he oversaw the Agency's experiments in the paranormal. Does he know about the "Project Cassandra" and what went wrong? He is also Griff's wife's grandfather and supporter of Raine. Carl Steiner - the assistant deputy director of the CIA is always causing trouble for the Phoenix. What does he know about "Cassandra" and what is he hiding? He is not liked by many of the Phoenix agents. Sabina Marguery - What does she know about "Cassandra" and Raine McAllister? she sounds like the wicked witch of the west. Charles Ellington - He wrote the book on the CIA's involvement in parapsychology. Why was "Cassandra" his only omission. Does he answer all of Griff's questions? It is a great blending of all of these characters that fill out and deepen the plot, plus some harrowing escapes that keep you on the edge. To get the whole effect of Griff Cabot and his men, you need to follow them through the series. 12 books and I am still not ready for the stories to end, love these men and their goofy women. Independent women who step in and mess up the men's contration causing no end of trouble. [not just here in this set of books]. Definitely Recommended - m -- if you like mystery with your romance these are it.
