The New Sense

By John B. Dutton

What if the man you love isn't who he says he is? Or worse... he really is. Summer, 2002. Single, carefree Montreal waitress Sara meets an intriguing out-of-towner whom she calls B- in her quirky private journal. They hang out. They get close. He's like no one she's ever met. In fact... there's something very strange about him, almost as though he's psychic. She probes deeper. He finally opens up to her: he's a genetic oddity with an extra sense acquired through a twist of evolutionary fate. Although initially skeptical, she soon falls in love with him and starts to believe his story.Shortly after Sara unexpectedly becomes pregnant, B- reveals that a former friend is pressuring him to undergo genetic testing at a pseudo-governmental research lab outside Chicago. B- is tempted to go there. What if there are others like him? Could their unborn child have the same "new sense"?Suddenly, B- disappears without a trace. Sara puts her journal online as a blog in the desperate hope that someone, somewhere can help her find him. As her pregnancy progresses and the days turn into weeks, she is forced to ask herself if anything she knows about him is really true, and whether their son will ever know his father. Realizing that the lab's shady operatives are now following her every move, Sara begins to fear for her own safety. The suspense mounts as she wonders: is it me they're after... or my baby?Part journal, part blog, part email chain, The New Sense is an unusually structured page-turner with a unique mystery told from the perspective of an engaging female character.
