In a merciless summer of biblical heat and destructive winds, Gabrielle Fox's main concern is a personal one: to rebuild her career as a psychologist after a shattering car accident. But when she is assigned Bethany Krall, one of the most dangerous teenagers in the country, she begins to fear she has made a terrible mistake. Raised on a diet of evangelistic hellfire, Bethany is violent, delusional, cruelly intuitive and insistent that she can foresee natural disasters - a claim which Gabrielle interprets as a symptom of doomsday delusion. But when catastrophes begin to occur on the very dates Bethany has predicted, and a brilliant, gentle physicist enters the equation, the apocalyptic puzzle intensifies and the stakes multiply. Is the self-proclaimed Nostradamus of the psych ward the ultimate manipulator, or could she be the harbinger of imminent global cataclysm on a scale never seen before?...

en märklig bok om världens undergång, med både vetenskap och bibliska referenser. vansinnigt spännande och gripande, men förvånansvärt lättsmält. karaktärerna är en aning kliché (den bittra kvinnan som förlorat allt, en mentalt störd tonårsflicka, den svåra vetenskapsmannen...), men på det hela taget en riktigt spännande thriller.
