Devices. Jolie's got tons of them. Coping mechanisms that ensure she's not falling victim to the mental illness that's taken hold of both her brother and father. Helping the homeless gives Jolie much needed consistency. But when a stranger struts into her Jersey Shore creperie, writing cryptic songs on napkins and then disappearing, her world becomes anything but routine. Reed can play the soul out of his saxophone, but he's hiding something. Why else would he reveal so little about himself, or plan one secluded, albeit eccentric, date after another? And what's in that backpack he carries everywhere? Then again, with her distressed brother missing, an estranged mother returning home, and a feisty grandmother acting weirder than usual, Jolie can't decipher whether her suspicions are valid or dangerous delusions. When inexplicable slashings of the homeless occur in her otherwise safe town, Jolie's devices begin to fail.

Rigid pacifist Julia Grant is manipulated by U.S. Intelligence into taking part in a covert mission in Egypt where her life is threatened and her heart torn between an Egyptologist and an arms dealer until she accepts that the world is seldom black and white.
