    About this ebook

    When two men break into Leonard Samson’s house, beat him unconscious and murder his six-year-old son, the police arrive to a gruesome scene. But they are shocked to find the mutilated bodies of the two intruders in the front room of Leonard’s home, while he waits in the kitchen with the surviving members of his family.

    Clarissa Chapman is a DCI of Psychokinetic Investigations, a new area of police work, instigated after the first genuine case of psychokinesis was discovered, some fifteen years earlier. The Samson case is brought to her attention due to the strange way in which the two intruders were killed. She suspects Leonard Samson is a Kinetic.

    All Kinetics are blessed with a gift to move objects with only the power of their mind. But it is also a horrific curse. Within a few years of discovering their ability, they all develop violent insanity and, for this reason, are locked away in specially designed prisons for the benefit of public safety.

    After discovering that the authorities suspect him of being a Kinetic, Leonard Samson runs; unaware that the police are not the only ones pursuing him.

    As the days pass by, Clarissa becomes increasingly aware that certain aspects of the Samson case just do not add up...

      A gripping read. I was hooked from page one. Two men break into Leonard Samson's house, beat him unconsious and murder his six year old son police arrive to a gruesome scene the multilated bodies of the intruders in the front room of Leonard's house. Clarissa Chapman is a DCJ of psychokinetic investigations a new area of police work. The Samson case is brought to her she suspects Leonard is a Kinetic. All Kinetics are blessed with the ability to move objects using their mind. But it can be a horrofic curse. Within a few years of discovering their ability they all develop violent insanity and have to be locked away. When Leonard realizes the police suspect him of being a Kinetic, he runs but the authorities aren't the only one's looking for him. If you enjoy books about people with mental powers you,ll love Kinesis.

      I bought this book for my kindle as it was cheap on Amazon. It didn't take me long to read, it is one of those can't-put-it-down books. It is centred around the power of kinesis, and how humans are more and more frequently finding they have these powers when they experience a stressful situation and use it to save themselves or others, but once they get the power they begin to use it violently and in a few years they go completely insane so they are all put into a high security prison. This book is about the investigation of one man who is suspected after two men break into his house and kill his son but are then found murdered when the police arrive. The problem is the man shows no signs of being a kinetic and they cannot see any signs of anyone else being in the house. A good read.
