The males of the Ostermann family possess quite the unique gift: not only can they read the minds of others, they can also “walk through” them and alter their thoughts. For years, the members of the Ostermann clan have used their special powers to destroy lives and build a financial empire for themselves, but when patriarch Wolf Ostermann finds himself without a son to carry on the avaricious family legacy, he attempts to train his daughter, Tara, in order to preserve their crushing grip on the world. Little does he know, though, Tara has no interest in entering the “family business,” and she soon flees for her life, but can she truly hope to escape the tyrannical clutches of her father – who has every means available to him to stop her in her tracks...?

Combining nonstop action with a taut, intriguing storyline, Mind Walker is a dynamic suspense thriller. From the very beginning, author Roy McConnell’s compelling page turner draws the reader in and takes him/her on a riveting journey of international adventure and high-stakes drama, culminating in a precipitous climax sure to leave many a jaw dropped in stunned surprise. Further bolstering McConnell’s gripping tale is the stark realism to which he lends it: though the Ostermanns’ powers are clearly fictitious in nature, McConnell chronicles them – and their damning effects – in such convincing fashion that it gives you considerable pause when reflecting on just who is really controlling your every thought and deed.

With engrossing action and solid character development, Mind Walker is an entertaining action/adventure thriller. A solid debut from a promising new literary talent.
