Touchstone

With a glance, Bennett Grey can read people's true feelings. With a touch, uncover their darkest secrets. His unwanted talent has driven him to the edge of madness and to a remote cottage in Cornwall where he lives in virtual seclusion -- until FBI agent Harris Styvesant entices him to help him diffuse a terrorist plot that could rip the world apart.

In the aftermath of the Great War, with the democracies on both sides of the Atlantic threatened from within by agitators and anarchists, Stuyvesant has only one very unpredictable weapon to stop the inevitable countdown to a deadly plot -- Grey: the touchstone.
