  Can our detective duo solve the case before the killer adds them to the birthday body count?

She seizes the chance when the prestigious Prescott Agency hires her as its first woman operative. The move sparks controversy—with skeptical male colleagues, a high-strung office secretary, and her boss, Mr. Theodore Prescott, all waiting for her to unravel under the pressure . . . 
   
   
   
  Harriet has an assignment: Discover the whereabouts of a missing maid from one of the most extravagant mansions on Prairie Avenue.

When her search leads to Chicago's Polish community and a new friendship in Agnes's charming older sister, Barbara, clues scattered across the city slowly reveal just how much depends on Harriet's inexperienced investigation for answers . . . and the deep danger that awaits once she learns the truth.

  His life just got very interesting. Apparently, someone wants him very dead.  
  Shane Riley, ex-Australian Army-turned-retrieval-specialist, is eager to embark on his new mission: retrieve something of value at the art auction in Switzerland.  
  And that's when the bullets start flying.  
  He's under attack, and doesn't know who's on his side or not. For Shane, it's a race against time — and against an unknown enemy that's very well-prepared and well-trained.

  Riley's first mission, monitoring an elite art auction at a high-end alpine hotel, is complicated by the arrival of a beguiling assassin — a woman as dangerous as she is alluring. With the line between allies and adversaries blurred by the swirling landscapes outside, a straightforward surveillance job spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse, and Room 571 becomes the heart of a labyrinthine plot. 
  From USA Today Bestselling Author Nick Thacker comes a new thrill ride — one you won't be able to put down.  
  For fans of Dan Brown, Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, Matthew Reilly, and James Rollins, comes a new action hero you'll be dying to root for.
