In 1989, a school bus filled with young children disappears. It drove into a tunnel, a tunnel with no exits, and did not drive out. Witnesses saw the bus go in. No one saw it come out. It vanished into thin air as a community panics. Everyone panics.

Everyone except for a 24-year-old college dropout named Jacob Thorne.

In 2004, three people are brutally murdered, two of them in a sealed panic room, a room locked from the inside. The only trace evidence is a single hair from the suspect. A suspect that has been dead for three months, killed by the same people who were just murdered in the panic room. Everyone is convinced a ghost has come back from the grave to avenge a murder.

Everyone, that is, except for a young DC homicide detective suffering from PTSD named Emma Kane.

To be a profiler, it takes more than just research and hard work. It takes more than simply brains. It takes...talent. And you need to have it from the very beginning. Talents - An Emma Kane/Jacob Thorne thriller. An origin story of two very unique people.

I love how this book explains how Kane got started with the FBI. I feel like this should've been book 1 vs 3.

great story

This book wasn't bad, but it didn't really do much for me. The story structure felt disjointed, like it was unsuccessfully trying to fit two separate ideas together, and the two protagonists never feel developed enough for the prequel setting to be worthwhile or successful.

Just okay

I don’t know if I liked this story. It felt like two different stories meshed into one book. I didn’t particularly care for the authors message to readers at the beginning. His way of stating that using profanity and law enforcement goes hand in hand are not correct. I’m a female in law enforcement and all my female coworkers don’t curse the way Kane does or condone the language. Although both stories were good on their own I still think that it could’ve been foreshadowed throughout the previous stories or made completely into two separate books. I guess I really didn’t need a back story because both characters Thorne and Kane acted exactly the same. We really didn’t see a growth in either characters. I thought Thorne was a lot more interesting than Kane. And that Kane picked more than a bad habit from his father.

Didn’t care too much for this book
