Shy and introverted Mariah Carpenter has concealed a talent from childhood that, if people knew, would brand her a freak. Now a fateful encounter has caused her secret—an extraordinary psychic ability—to become greatly enhanced. Suddenly she has the ability to psychically find kidnapped children. But is this a blessing or a curse? When Mariah's 4th Finding is filmed and the recording stolen and sold to a broadcast journalist, Mariah's worst nightmare becomes a reality. To some she is a saint and a messenger from God—to others she's the Antichrist. Meanwhile another government agency has its own covert agenda for Mariah ... In the midst of all of this, Mariah has a series of horrifying nightmares, culminating in the discovery of an ingenious serial killer who somehow prevents Mariah from finding him. Locating this murderer before he kills again becomes Mariah's obsession, one that threatens to consume her—and could even destroy her.
