“In 1996 a television series known as The Pretender splashed onto the scene as NBC’s highest testing series concept since Bonanza. For some 12 years since its premature cancellation, legions of worldwide fans have patiently awaited for its return.

Now, in the form of a fully original, mystery thriller novel, The Pretender – Rebirth marks the exciting return of Jarod, Miss Parker, Sydney and the nefarious, clandestine activities of The Centre.

Series creators and authors of The Pretender – Rebirth, Steven Long Mitchell and Craig W. Van Sickle, have crafted a slick tome sure to please not only returning fans of the original series but also new readers unfamiliar with the world of The Pretender.

The Pretender – Rebirth features a brilliant human chameleon named Jarod, who after escaping from his captors at the notorious Centre, plunges headlong into his newfound freedom, embracing his NYC environs, Harlem to be exact, as his new home. While also discovering the joys and intricacies of everyday life with the pure wonderment of the man/child he is, Jarod uses his dazzling mind and unequaled abilities to literally become anyone he wants to be – a human chameleon of the first order – as well as his unique mind over muscle vigilante-like skills to bring down the powerful and corrupt as they exploit the little guy – those who can’t defend themselves.

But while Jarod is capable of becoming anyone he wants to be, the heart-rending truth is – he doesn’t know who he himself is. Stolen as a child and raised and exploited for his genius by The Centre, the now free Jarod vows to discover the truth about who he is, where he came from and the location of his real family.

But much like the challenges Jason Bourne faces, seeking answers about his identity and taking care of the wrongs he’s trying to right, Jarod’s path in the outside world is fraught with roadblock after roadblock. The dangerous worlds he infiltrates as a Pretender are rife with intense scrutiny, constantly threatening his complex ruses to exposure.

Then there are those who simply want Jarod dead.

All the while he must stay a step ahead of his relentless pursuers from The Centre, who want him recaptured at any cost – alive – preferably.

Leading The Centre hunt for Jarod is the sexiest woman on the planet, the complex, bitch-on-wheels, Miss Parker, a tenacious woman Jarod has known since childhood. Theirs is a truly multifaceted cat and mouse relationship – one driven by Jarod who holds the key to many of the emotional secrets at her very core, secrets that fuel her relentless drive to recapture him.

Since her mother’s suicide at age 12, Miss Parker has long sought the acceptance and respect of her iron-fisted father, the man who runs The Centre and who is a master manipulator of his daughter’s increasingly vulnerable feelings surrounding her quest for his love. In Miss Parker’s mind, excising the demons of her past and present and the key to Daddy Parker’s love boil down to one thing: recapturing Jarod. And while hell hath no fury like Miss Parker, deep down inside her reside complex issues with her buried feelings for Jarod – the boy she shared her very first kiss with.

For Jarod, Miss Parker is a constant tightrope he walks – at once trying to open her eyes to family and Centre lies, while also dealing with those same feelings for her – feelings with deep roots in his own boyhood.

One thing is certain – theirs is a pursuer/pursued relationship like no other before it – one that goes far beyond say, Inspector Gerard and his Fugitive. The Jarod/Miss Parker chase is a scintillating one, teeming with lies, secrets and answers – all bound together by emotional ties and mutual scars.
