#1 New Release in Teen & Young Adult Spy Story eBooks on Amazon (2023)
Selected for Kirkus Reviews’ 40 Indies Worth Discovering (2024)
A darkly funny YA spy thriller about a teenage assassin who can fake almost anything except friendship.
She was trained to kill. High school is the first mission that might change her.
Emma Garthright can break into a secure compound, disable an armed target, and lie without blinking. Making a friend may be the first mission she cannot complete.
Raised at a secret CIA boarding school that trains dangerous teenagers as assassins, sixteen-year-old Emma is sent undercover at an ordinary Maryland high school. To reach her target, she must earn a place on the Model United Nations team—and win the trust of Susie Robinson, the most relentlessly decent person Emma has ever met.
Emma plans to fake empathy, manipulate Susie, and complete the mission. Then the fake friendship starts feeling real. Worse, Emma’s ruthless ex arrives with orders of his own.
Now Emma must choose between the mission she was trained for and the people she was never supposed to care about.
A complete first adventure in The Emma Garthright Files. Future Emma Garthright stories are planned.
