Description: "QUICK FIX--the second installment of the original urban fantasy series by LINDA GRIMES.Ciel Halligan, an aura adaptor with a chameleon-like ability to step into the lives of her clients and fix their problems for them--as them--is working a job at the National Zoo with her boyfriend, Billy, and his ten-year-old sister, Molly. Its supposed to be a quick fix, giving her time to decide if its wise to pursue the romantic relationship her charming scoundrel of a best friend wants, or if she should give Mark, the CIA spook shes crushed on since hormones first rattled her pubescent brain, a chance to step up to the plate. Molly has already begun to show signs of being an adaptor herself. Shes young for it, but shes always been precocious, so its not impossible. What is impossible is her taking on the form of the baby orangutan she touches--adaptors can only project human auras. Until now, apparently. Worse, Molly is stuck in ape form. She cant change herself back. Escaping from the zoo with their new baby orang, Ciel and Billy head for New York City and the only person they know can help: Ciels brother James, a non-adaptor scientist whos determined to crack the aura adaptor genetic code. But when Billy winds up in jail, accused of attempted murder, Ciel begins to suspect Mollys unusual adapting ability is more than just a fluke. Whos been experimenting on Molly, and what do they hope to gain? And will Ciel survive to find out? "--
