Florio’s outstanding first novel introduces foreign correspondent Lola Wicks, pulled out of Afghanistan and assigned to irrelevant suburbia where she discovers the corpse of a former colleague. Quirky and cantankerous, Lola is grudgingly willing to learn from experience. Believable action complements razor-sharp observations of people and scenery. —Publishers Weekly, starred review finalist International Thriller Writers Award for Best First Novel winner Pinckley Prize for Crime Fiction
