Graham Parsons is back in England, a fugitive from US law, but his freedom is still threatened by a vengeful US Senator and extradition. His life goes on hold, in a stasis of anxiety while in America, Chrissy Haddon and her mother confront their own demons of abuse and alcoholism. Is it time for Senator Haddon to answer for his deeds and make amends? The Gang rally to Graham's side once more, with support and practical help on both sides of the Atlantic that become quite extraordinary. But like Graham, with his telepathic connection with children needing help, they all know others would think their experiences were no more than fiction. As things begin to fall apart help comes from an unexpected source and the US State Department are persuaded to join in. Meanwhile, in Leicester, Lori is a frightened fifteen-year old, trapped in a world of drugs and prostitution. Yet in the darkness shines a tiny glimmer of defiance. Only she knows her real name is Marya, until she sees Graham's advertisements and 'puts her message in a bottle', triggering a dreadful reaction which causes Graham to suffer one of his worst nightmares.

Graham has come to terms with his special gift. A telepathic connection with children who need help, but his efforts to help them are often accompanied by calamity. The tiny group who know his secret decide he needs their protection, but just how effective can Nancy, his partner, a GP, a social worker and an overweight detective sergeant be? They are joined by Harvey Calder, a wealthy business man. He and his wife Audrey are indebted to Graham for saving their granddaughter's life, which prompts them to give Graham, Nancy and their foster child, Jimmy, a holiday of a lifetime. But 'life' takes on a whole new meaning when Graham confronts an American, set to become a Senator, who will do anything to discredit and remove a threat. Graham's false imprisonment does just that and the situation seems back under control, but no-one has told the Senator about the Hell's Angel, 'Big Bob'.

Graham Parsons is a man ordinaire whose well-ordered life is changed beyond measure when he witnesses the manslaughter of a 7 year old boy, Christopher. Whilst holding the dying child he experiences a profound out of body experience and minutes later suffers a life threatening attack, leaving him with permanent disabilities. His recovery brings with it a telepathic connection with children who need help. An affinity which threatens his sanity, marriage and eventually his life. This tale of discovery begins with a fearful and confused denial which takes him to the edge of reason until eventually, he accepts and employs his remarkable gift with a charming pragmatism that disarms doubters and helps to salvage blighted young lives. His simple, candid honesty wins the support of four friends from very different backgrounds; Christopher's mother, a GP, a Child Protection Officer and a Detective Sergeant. This story chronicles the shocking, moving and yet sometimes heart-warming episodes in his new life.

. . ."e;but there's something else as well. Grandma had a box at the foot of her bed, which she used as a linen chest. It's a bit tatty; she covered it with a rug, but it looks a bit like the one in your picture. You're welcome to it if you want it; only it had blankets in it, not tack."e;I had nothing to lose, "e;Yes please Audrey, if you could hold on to it, I'll pick it up at the weekend."e;There were more than just blankets in there, much more and so began an odyssey of discovery I couldn't have imagined if I'd tried. Dad had passed away a few years earlier, another victim in a lineage littered with heart attacks, so the hoard I discovered was as mysterious as it was startling. Weapons, loves, scandals and crime. Just how well did I know my father?Fact or fiction? This book became both. Stranger still, this is a book that leaves the reader knowing more than the author.
