In a "provocative thriller," a privileged young woman confronts ugly truths about her father—and her feelings for the young man trying to take him down (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Everything Alix knows about her life is a lie. At least that's what a mysterious young man who's stalking her keeps saying. But then she begins investigating the disturbing claims he makes against her father. Could her dad really be at the helm of a firm that distorts the truth and covers up wrongdoing by hugely profitable corporations that have allowed innocent victims to die? Is it possible that her father is the bad guy, and that the undeniably alluring criminal who calls himself Moses—and his radical band of teen activists—is right? Alix has to make a choice, and time is running out, but can she truly risk everything and blow the whistle on the man who loves her and raised her?

"From the opening pages, this is an action-packed thriller with the FBI, secret service, thousands of rats, a kidnapping, and a little romance. . . . Bacigalupi scores again." —Library Media Connection, starred review

"A suspenseful, page-turning yarn. . . . Bound to provoke thought." —Kirkus Reviews

"This gripping, outstanding contemporary story . . . builds at a steady pace, leading to increasingly dramatic plot twists and a climax that will leave readers' hearts pounding." —School Library Journal

"Multi-award-winning Bacigalupi is becoming an indispensable voice in YA." —Booklist

"This is a gripping, unsettling read that will no doubt prompt further discussion long after the climactic, cinematic finale." —The Horn Book

"An exciting read . . . Bacigalupi has done an impressive job of placing the reader in the front seat." —VOYA
