HE CAN HEAL WITH A GLANCE. FEAR CAN MAKE THAT SAME POWER DEADLY.
Jack is a drifter, a tramp, with nothing—until a gunshot, a desperate operation and an impossible recovery leave him with a power no one understands.
At first, Jack’s strange ability seems miraculous. With a glance, the sick recover. The injured are restored. Even age itself can be reversed. But Jack soon discovers that the same force that heals can kill when fear takes hold—and once other people realize what he can do, his life is no longer his own.
A miracle becomes a weapon.
A powerless man becomes someone the world fears.
And every attempt to control his gift drives him closer to catastrophe.
Dark, suspenseful and tragic, The Tramp is a fantasy of extraordinary power and human manipulation in which one outcast’s impossible gift threatens to consume the man who possesses it.
