A. Cosby _____________ Meet Jessica Jones: a private investigator and retired super hero
based out of Hell's Kitchen Manhattan who goes from job to job as a hard living rough
talking loner. And then a wealthy Upper East Side woman pays her a visit. Amber Randall is
concerned about her twin sixteen-year-olds Lark and Fox who have acted and looked very
different since they returned from spending the summer with their British father in the UK. She
tells Jessica that her children have unnaturally perfect skin for teenagers and have lost all
the tics and habits that made them who they were. They are not Lark and Fox she tells Jessica.
Something has happened to them. To find out more Jessica travels to Essex to talk to their
father and once there meets Belle who is living a curiously isolated existence in a run-down
farmhouse with her guardian Debra. Jessica knows that Lark and Fox had spent the summer with
Belle-but can this unworldly teenager really be responsible for Lark and Fox's new personas?
Jessica soon discovers that behind Belle and Debra evil geniuses are playing a dangerous game
with technology in order to make the world a "better place" not caring who gets hurt maimed
or even killed in the process. Can Jessica stop them from wreaking destruction on a whole
generation of young people? Nothing is certain in Lisa Jewell's gripping and most imaginative
novel yet.
