A psychotic killer hijacked her mind and her body. She's taking them back. Eighteen-year-old Anna Morgan is on the run from the very government project that created her abilities. Now they seek to weaponize the gift she doesn't want and can't control: the invasion of her mind and her body by spirits, some of whom have their own unusual powers. Her latest "hitcher" is a former top Delphi executive. Unlike Anna's previous guests, this one has taken over, and he's on a personal mission of revenge. The target is Senator Ronald Cregg, a corrupt, power-hungry presidential candidate. One of Delphi's creators, he's now manipulating the public into believing "psychic terrorists" are a scourge to be eliminated. There's only one way to stop him, but Anna draws the line at murder. Pulled into a dark conspiracy, Anna struggles to reclaim her body, mind, and soul as she and the other Delphi psychics join together to fight for their right to exist.

It's never wise to talk to strangers...and that goes double when they're dead. Unfortunately, seventeen-year-old Anna Morgan has no choice. Resting on a park bench, touching the turnstile at the Metro station--she never knows where she'll encounter a ghost. These mental hitchhikers are the reason Anna has been tossed from one foster home and psychiatric institution to the next for most of her life. When a chance touch leads her to pick up the insistent spirit of a girl who was brutally murdered, Anna is pulled headlong into a deadly conspiracy that extends to the highest levels of government. Facing the forces behind her new hitcher's death will challenge the barriers, both good and bad, that Anna has erected over the years and shed light on her power's origins. And when the covert organization seeking to recruit her crosses the line by kidnapping her friend, it will discover just how far Anna is willing to go to bring it down.
