In this sequel to The Verifiers, Pek again brilliantly combines a corporate espionage thriller with the messy drama of Lin's family life * Washington Post (10 Best Mystery Novels of 2024) * The sweetly sardonic amateur sleuth Claudia Lin, who first appeared in The Verifiers, returns to solve another mystery when a client of her online-dating detective agency dies in a suspicious accident * New York Times * A clever, clear-eyed take on the modern spy novel, full of wisdom and sly humor. I'd follow Claudia Lin anywhere -- Grace D Li, author of Portrait of a Thief Claudia Lin serves as the perfect guide to this captivating mystery -- Kevin Wilson, author of Now Is Not the Time to Panic Jane Pek's writing is really fun and will keep you hooked -- Emily Henry, author of Beach Read & Funny Story
