Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers a stunningly original thriller in this powerful page-turner. Trouble will find you They watch you through mirrors… “Your mother was twenty-seven when it came to her. Now you’re twenty-seven, and it’s come to you.” The skin of Alex’s arms tingled with goose bumps. By her twenty-seventh birthday insanity had come to his mother…. Turning twenty-seven may be terrifying for some, but for Alex, a struggling artist living in the mid-western United States, it is cataclysmic. Inheriting a huge expanse of land should have made him a rich and happy man; but something about this birthday, his name, and the beautiful woman whose life he just saved, has suddenly made him — and everyone he loves — into a target. A target for extreme and uncompromising violence… Where do you turn when your own reflection spells doom? In Alex, Terry Goodkind brings to life a modern hero in a whole new kind of high-octane thriller.
