From multi-million copy bestselling author Nora Roberts - a brand new thriller with tragedy and trauma, resilience and revenge.

Sometimes a gift can feel more like a curse...

'If you're after the perfect pick-me-up, take-me-away-from-the-world read, then she's your woman' The Guardian

'Nora Roberts is, quite simply, a one-woman phenomenon' Heat

Mind Games introduces us to Thea Fox, who is just twelve years old when her parents are brutally slain. With Thea's help, the police are able to put their murderer - a psychotic serial killer named Ray Riggs - behind bars for life. Forever changed, Thea slowly learns to come to terms with the events of that terrible night and builds a new life in a small country town where she can breathe in the smells of pine, fresh bread, and her grandmother's homemade candles.

However, the connection that helped Thea put her parents' killer behind bars will come to haunt her. Though her grandmother calls it a gift, to Thea it feels more like a curse because Ray feels the connection too. Although Thea may try to move on, Ray isn't willing to let her go quite so easily...
