Quinn Quicksilver was born a mystery, abandoned at three days old on a desert highway in Arizona. Raised in an orphanage, Quinn had a happy if unexceptional life. Until the day of 'strange magnetism.' It compelled him to drive out to the middle of nowhere. It saved his life when two government agents showed up in pursuit of him. Now Quinn is on the run, fleeing for his life. During a shoot-out at a dude ranch, he finally meets his destined companions: Bridget Rainking, a beauty as gifted in foresight as she is with firearms, and her grandpa Sparky, a romance novelist with an unusual past. Bridget knows what it's like to be Quinn. She's hunted, too. The only way to stay alive is to keep moving. Barreling through the Sonoran Desert, the trio is impelled by that same inexplicable magnetism toward the inevitable. With every mile, something sinister is in the rearview; an enemy that is more than a match for Quinn. Even as he discovers within himself resources that are every bit as scary.
