Depois de escapar por pouco de um confronto com um assassino desequilibrado e obcecado pelo assassinato de sua mãe, Cassie espera que ela e o restante da equipe possam se limitar a resolver casos antigos à distância. No entanto, quando vítimas de um novo serial killer começam a aparecer, os Naturais se deparam com um perigo muito próximo: o assassino replica os crimes de um velho conhecido da polícia — e de um deles também.

Cassie é uma jovem de dezessete anos que tem o talento natural de ler pessoas, desvendando suas personalidades e desejos. Mas ela nunca levou muito a sério essa habilidade, pelo menos não até o FBI bater em sua porta com uma proposta: participar do programa Naturais, que usa jovens com talentos extraordinários para resolver casos arquivados da polícia. O que Cassie não imaginava era que essa experiência seria muito mais complexa do que desvendar assassinatos não resolvidos —especialmente quando é enviada para morar com um grupo de jovens cujas habilidades são tão únicas quanto a sua.

Quando a jovem Cassie Hobbes decidiu entrar para o programa do FBI para jovens com habilidades especiais, seu objetivo principal era descobrir o que aconteceu com sua mãe, desaparecida há anos. Ao lado de Dean, Lia, Michael e Sloane, os cinco Naturais, agora autorizados a trabalhar em casos ativos, resolveu diversos assassinatos em série — e percebeu uma peça em comum que pode ser a chave do quebra-cabeça do caso de sua mãe.

Após sobreviverem a uma tentativa de assassinato e ao caso de um assassino em série que imitava o modus operandi do pai de Dean, os Naturais agora estão autorizados pelo FBI a se juntar em casos ativos, e sua primeira tarefa envolve uma nova série de assassinatos em Las Vegas. Diferente de todos os padrões que estudaram até então, esse assassino não utiliza o mesmo método para cometer seus crimes. A única constância é que as mortes acontecem em público e uma série de números é marcada no punho das vítimas.

When Joe Luc Barnes arrived in Moscow in 2014 as an English 'governor' to a six-year-old oligarch's son, he expected Tolstoy-style dachas and polite tea. Instead, he found flashing blue lights, Champagne Sundays and an 85% approval rating for Vladimir Putin. Eight years, 60,000 miles and one full-scale invasion later, Barnes set out to discover how every former Soviet republic – from war-scarred Ukraine to tech-hungry Estonia, oil-rich Kazakhstan to the torch-lit streets of Armenia – has fared since the red flag fell in 1991.

Flight fascinates us. We thrill to birds, we adore butterflies, we're baffled by bats and we can hardly believe in pterodactyls. Barnes looks at the physics of flight and how it has evolved quite separately four times over (birds, bats, insects and pterosaurs). He examines how these creatures do it: from the nocturnal agility of bats and the extinct reptile quetzalcoatlus with its 33-foot wingspan, to barely competent pheasants.
