Recovery Agent (2023)

Janet Evanovich, the number-one New York Times bestselling author, launches a new series blending wild adventure, appealing characters and sharp humour. Gabriela Rose is a recovery agent who retrieves lost treasures, stolen heirlooms and missing assets for individuals and companies. Reliable, cool under pressure and trained in the use of all kinds of weapons, she now takes on a job for her own family: unless they quickly raise a large sum of money, their home will be destroyed. Guided by an old family legend, Gabriela travels to the jungles of Peru in search of the Ring of Solomon and the lost treasure of Cortez. The mission also brings her together with her ex-husband, Rafer, who has the map that may lead to the treasure and refuses to let Gabriela search without him. Relaxed where Gabriela is driven, Rafer has spent a lifetime getting under her skin, but when they are not arguing about the past, they make a formidable team. Together they must outwit a ruthless drug lord who is also hunting for the legendary ring and is prepared to leave a trail of bodies behind him. The Recovery Agent begins an adventurous, fast-paced new series featuring the unstoppable Gabriela Rose, with screwball humour and a taut thriller plot.
