Devon Murphy is something of a drifter. Like his mother, he has the knack of getting people to do what he wants -- but unlike his mother he isn't comfortable with his gift, so tends to avoid close relationships. When his grandmother summons him to the small coastal town of Rowan Harbor, Devon packs up his life in his father's old Corvette and hits the road.( no major spoilers )
"People in this town are afraid of outsiders, but it's not like regular, small-town paranoia. It's like 'you could learn our secret and get us all killed' paranoia." [p. 145]
