Edition: Advance Reading Copy (trade paperback format. )

New York: Viking, (2017). SIGNED first edition - The author's first novel, a literary thriller which Colson Whitehead called "A kickass debut from start to finish" and Robin Sloan described as "unexpected, uncategorizable, unputdownable." This features 17 year-old Lee Cuddy who is on the run. "Betrayed by her family after taking the fall for a friend, she finds refuge in a cooperative of runaways holed up in an abandoned building they call the Crystal Castle. But the faade of the Castle conceals a far more sinister agenda, one hatched by a society of fanatical men set on decoding a series of powerful secrets hidden in plain sight. And they believe Lee holds the key to it all. Aided by Tomi, a young hacker and artist with whom she has struck a wary alliance, Lee escapes into the unmapped corners of the cityempty aquariums, deserted motels, patrolled museums, and even the homes of vacationing families." SIGNED on the title page and dated in April 2017, that is before publication. 374 pp.
