Next, she stumbled across a telepathic serial killer, who used an unstoppable predator, under his mental control, to hunt and kill his victims - and Telzey was to be the catch of the day. Then, she had to fend off the secret psi agents of the Psychological Corps who took a dim view of any telepath, let alone one with Telzey's powers, operating outside of their control.

Not only a telepath, but a xenotelepath, able to communicate mentally not just with humans, but with alien intelligences.
