Project X has made his mark on the physical world in a battle to save Claudia from the Shadow Man. He must possess her and he's willing to pull out all the stops to make it happen. She belongs with him in his world; she just has to say goodbye to every human connection she has made.
Claudia Belle has become a distraction when John Slater can't afford a single misstep. With definitive proof that Project X is hanging around Milton, Dr. Nicholson will accept nothing less than perfection. And he intends to personally oversee results.
With The Company's men wandering around searching for sure evidence of Claudia's existence, she's in more danger than ever before. There's no longer room for secrets in Milton, but will the truth set her free, or leave her caged like a lab rat?
