Tory Brennan and her great aunt Tempe join forces to investigate a crime at Comic-Con in this exclusive direct-to-digital short story from Kathy Reichs, author of Bones of the Lost and Virals.

A valuable Terminator replica disappears from the nerd nirvana of Comic-Con. Tory Brennan and her great aunt Tempe are on the scene, and join forces to investigate. Surely the Terminator can't have just vanished into thin air?

When a ransom note appears, threatening the destruction of the model, Comic-Con staff start to accuse each other. The clues are soon mounting up - but can Tempe and the Virals find the thief before it's too late?

Reviews

A beautifully polished, utterly knowing, and palpitating book.

—— Time

A marvellously observed relentless tale.

—— Observer

One of those writers who will be read a century from now.

—— Robert Harris

Complex and intense ... page-turning tension.

—— San Francisco Chronicle

When I was under house arrest I was helped by the books of John le Carré ... they were a journey into the wider world ... These were the journeys that made me feel that I was not really cut off from the rest of humankind

—— Aung San Suu Kyi

One of those writers who will be read a century from now

—— Robert Harris

He can communicate emotion, from sweating fear to despairing love, with terse and compassionate conviction

—— Sunday Times (on 'The Spy Who Came in from the Cold')

Return of the master . . . Having plumbed the devious depths of the Cold War, le Carré has done it again for our nasty new age

—— The Times (on 'Our Kind of Traitor')

Stevens’s blazingly brilliant debut introduces a great new action heroine, Vanessa Michael Munroe, who doesn’t have to kick over a hornet’s nest to get attention, though her feral, take-no-prisoners attitude reflects the fire of Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander….Thriller fans will eagerly await the sequel to this high-octane page-turner.

—— Publishers Weekly

A heroine every bit as provocative as Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander.

—— The Dallas Morning News

Part Lisbeth Salander, part Jason Bourne, Munroe comes out swinging hard again. . . . A gritty, suspenseful novel.

—— Library Journal
