Icarus and the Devil Excerpt
“When we were partners, what was the one instinct of mine that was always right?”
Cormac eyed him through his dark lashes, conceding. “Who to trust.”
“I’m not discounting what you’re saying. Vincent knew who to send to me and knew enough about Icarus to figure he wouldn’t take no for an answer. But Vincent miscalculated. The connection between us was immediate, Mac. Same way it was with Deb and David. And just like with them, I knew from the start I could trust Icarus. Me.” Adam tapped his temple. “Not the thing inside me.”
Cormac lifted his face and pinned him with a glare. “You didn’t see what I did out there today.”
If Cormac relied on Adam’s instincts about who to trust, Adam relied on Cormac’s powers of observation. The raven saw everything.
“Okay, tell me what you saw.”
Cormac reached between his own spread knees and flattened his palm on the ground. “He put a hand to the ground like this, closed his eyes, and asked Nature to help him. And it did. I fucking felt it, Adam.” He righted himself and mimicked Adam’s earlier motion, except he tapped the center of his chest. “The raven felt it.”
