Trouble Lurks

Sometimes, the most ordinary objects hold the deepest secrets.

While 16-year-old Tirana Caineson loves a good spy story, she isn’t so sure that she wants to live one. But when she discovers a new book in her local library that shouldn’t exist, she’s determined to unravel the mystery–because the author is dead. Right?
Whisked away into an incognito existence of secrets, danger, and insanity, it’s up to Tirana to protect a manuscript that could cost her her life. But she’s not the only one who thinks that an average book contains more than meets the eye, and there are other forces who will stop at nothing to get their hands on it.
The world of secret agents isn’t nearly as romantic as it is in the storybooks, and with the safety of those she loves at stake, Tirana must embark on a mission to uncover the truth… before the lies entangle them all.

Kara Swanson's Dust meets the works of P.D. Atkerson in this whimsical spy tale, where friendships, secrets, and trouble lurk.
