A Goodreads user asked Rysa Walker:

I haven't been able to find any information on The Delphi Project. I've been waiting since around November. When will you be able to release at least the basic plot or characters?

Rysa Walker Hi, Lauren! Thanks for the question :)

I will (hopefully) have the first draft to my publisher in the next few weeks, so we won't have an *official* synopsis for a few months. I've been half-jokingly referring to it as X-Files meets X-Men, since there are some elements of both. But here's a *very* rough draft version of the synopsis...which I'm certain will change once it's in the hands of editors. :)

*************************

It's never wise to pick up strangers. That probably goes double for dead strangers.

Unfortunately, seventeen-year old Anna Morgan has no choice. Resting on a park bench, grabbing a pencil someone donated to her school, or touching a bench on the Metro are equally risky endeavors. She never knows where she'll pick up a ghost.

These mental hitchhikers are the reason Anna has been tossed from one foster home and mental institution to another since she was abandoned as a toddler near Ft. Meade. Most people think she has a personality disorder, with the exception of her best friend, fifteen year old Deo, and her therapist, Dr. Kelsey, who learned the truth about Anna's condition years ago. Anna's hope is to survive another year in Maryland's foster system and do whatever she can to help Deo make it through as well, so they can move out of the city. Some place quiet...with fewer dead people.

Then Anna's fingers brush the keys of an old piano at the shelter on U Street and she picks up Molly—two years dead, her face battered and a red gash where her left pinky should be.

Anna soon finds herself on the run with Aaron Quinn, a former friend of Molly's who works as private detective. Aaron has his own mental
quirk that Anna jokingly calls his "Spidey-sense." He's spent the past three years investigating Molly's death and also trying to solve the murder of his father, a former military intelligence officer who had flashes of precognition. Aaron believes there's a connection between his and Anna's abilities and a secret military program his dad was involved in prior to
his death. When the threats against Anna and her friends become more pronounced, they begin to suspect a link to Molly's murder, as well.
