Secret Lives
“De Castrique's uber-twisty narrative consistently entertains... A taut and crisply told thriller whose charmingly shady protagonist triumphs over a labyrinthine plot.”

About This Book
Former FBI agent Ethel Fiona Crestwater is used to being underestimated - which is exactly what makes her dangerous. When one of the boarders in her Washington, D.C. house is murdered, Ethel launches her own investigation with her cousin Jesse, a college student who quickly realizes how many skills Ethel has kept hidden. As assaults escalate and stolen cash points to broader corruption, the pair discover that no official channel can be fully trusted. Their only reliable alliance is family, and staying alive means moving faster than the people trying to silence them.
