About this ebook
A gifted teenager discovers her parents' unnerving plan for her future in this "riveting and accomplished" international spy thriller ( The Sunday Times, UK).
Meet Pearl Tao: an American girl with a lethal secret. She longs for the life of a normal American teenager in the Washington DC suburbs. But she is different.
Her gift for mathematics means overprotective parents and college sponsorship from a secretive technology corporation. And now, aged nineteen, she is beginning to understand what her parents intend for her. The terrifying role she is to play.
Her only hope of escape lies with two sidelined and discredited spies: Trish Patterson and Philip Mangan. Finding out the truth about Pearl will be the biggest mission they'll ever undertake.
"Authentic, taut and compelling. Brookes is the real deal." —Charles Cumming
