Everyone thinks she's dead. Turns out she went undercover. An edge-of-your-seat reverse heist thriller about a teen spy who must outsmart a team of criminals in order to free a building full of innocent hostages . . . and herself. Masterfully weaving together the undercover secrecy and thrills of The Naturals series, the killer twists and turns of Five Survive and the futuristic setting of Cyberpunk 2077. ‘An incredibly fun, fast-paced blend of a spy thriller mixed with speculative elements. A fantastic, immersive read.’ Ravena Guron, author of This Book KillsIn the near future, to combat identity theft, paper and plastic IDs have been replaced with permanent biometric tattoos. But governments still need people to work in the shadows. These people are called wraiths. THENWhen she was fifteen, Augusta Pine (alias) hacked a car’s autopilot and accidentally killed her first crush. She was given two options: 1) Spend twenty years in prison for manslaughter or 2) serve ten years in the Identity Security Division as a wraith – an undercover spy with no official existence. Augusta chose the second. NOWEighteen-year-old Augusta has no fixed home and all her family think she died in the car crash. Her only friends are her coolly professional handler, Prefect, and a snarky sentient Al spybot called Edgar. On a rare weekend to herself, she decides to rent a room in a smart apartment complex and makes grand plans to do nothing but relax . . . until six cyber criminals hack the building and imprison all the residents. To save everyone, Augusta will have to rely on her wits and her own criminal skills to stay one step ahead of the killers.
