Publisher's Synopsis
The brilliance of a child's imagination is also the architect of the monsters under their beds. A severely autistic child finds a unique power in his only way to communicate with the world. Sidney McComb spent his entire FBI career skirting the fine line between good and evil, burning bridges with every step. Eventually, all of the lines had been crossed and the last bridge burned and Sid "Vicious" had no choice left but to barrel headlong into his date with destiny. And then he met Ethan, a young boy with a talent beyond anyone's imagination. Ethan didn't like the mean man. He was rough, he yelled and he smelled funny. But Ethan tolerated him because, unlike Nurse Becca, he allowed Ethan to draw with the black pencil. The brute had unleashed a power unlike anything the boy had ever known and the last thing he wanted to do was lose that feeling.
