The Locksmith (a Mindjack Story)

SHORT NOVELLA (STANDALONE) in the Mindjack Universe When everyone reads minds, a secret is a dangerous thing to keep. In a world filled with mindreaders, Zeph is a mindjacker who wants to stay hidden-even if it means the cute mindreader in his Latin class is forever out of his reach. He locks and unlocks minds for a ruthless mindjacker Clan in exchange for protection and the chance to have a normal life with his parents and little sister. But when a girl he doesn't know reveals the existence of mindjackers to the world, Zeph is forced to make a choice: unlock-and ultimately destroy-the mind of a young jacker changeling or turn his back on everyone he loves.
