A People Magazine Best New Book PickNamed a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by CrimeReads, LitHub, and Book Riot! “If you’re looking for a dark, moody, complex thriller with a complex woman protagonist this is your series. I love love love these books."--Roxane Gay, New York Times bestselling author of HungerFrom Strand Critics Award winner Sheena Kamal, comes the third novel featuring the brilliant, fearless, deeply flawed Nora Watts whose vendetta against a triad enforcer escalates when he places a target on her daughter's back.Find your enemy. Before he finds you.Nora Watts has a talent for seeing what lies beneath strangers’ surfaces, and for knowing what they’re working hard to keep hidden. Somehow, it’s the people closest to her she has trouble truly connecting with. In the case of Bonnie, the teenage daughter Nora gave up for adoption, she has to keep trying. For Bonnie has a target on her back—and it’s all because of Nora. Two years ago, Bonnie was kidnapped by the wealthy Zhang family. Though Nora rescued her, she made a powerful enemy in Dao, a mysterious triad enforcer and former head of the Zhangs’ private security. Now Dao is out for revenge, and she needs to track him down in order to keep herself—and Bonnie—safe. On Dao’s trail, Nora forms an unlikely partnership with Bernard Lam, an eccentric playboy billionaire with his own mysterious grudge to bear, and reunites with Jon Brazuca, ex-cop turned private investigator and Nora’s occasional ally. From Canada to southeast Asia they pursue Dao, uncovering a shadowy criminal cabal. But soon, the trail will lead full circle to Vancouver, the only home Nora’s ever known, and right to the heart of her brutal past.
Picking up where book two ends, Nora is once again doing everything she can to protect the daughter she tried to forget, to stay away from and finds everything she touches turns to ash, everyone she allows herself to care for has a target on their back. From Vancouver to Indonesia and back again, there is nothing Nora won’t do to put an end to the danger. The character development, storyline, and ending (?) are well crafted, evenly paced, and don’t give the reader peace of mind. Things in the book, as in real life are messy, filled with collateral damage and don’t get wrapped up in a pretty feel good bow.As there is a brace key that opens a door somewhere in Palestine that no longer exists, I have hope there may be a book four, but even if that doesn’t come to be, it is a satisfying what if to ponder for a possible future for Nora to find the answer to. For me, the mark of a well written book is when I continue to wonder how the characters are getting on, what they might be doing now and I am definitely wondering how Nora and Whisper are.
