Synopsis
“An absolutely first-rate thriller.” —New York Times Book Review
Seattle PD sex-crimes detective Livia Lone knows the monsters she hunts. Sold by her Thai parents along with her little sister, Nason; abused by the men who trafficked them; marooned in America...the only thing that kept Livia alive as a teenager was her determination to find Nason.
Livia has never stopped looking. And she copes with her failure to protect her sister by doing everything she can to put predators in prison.
Or, when that fails, by putting them in the ground.
But when a fresh lead offers new hope of finding Nason and the men who trafficked them both, Livia will have to go beyond just being a cop. Beyond even being a vigilante. She’ll have to relive the horrors of the past. Take on one of the most powerful men in the US government. And uncover a conspiracy of almost unimaginable evil.
In every way, it’s an unfair fight. But Livia has two advantages: her unending love for Nason—
And a lifelong lust for vengeance.

Review
An Amazon Best Book of 2016
A Kirkus Reviews Best Fiction of 2016 Selection
An Amazon Best Book of the Month: Mystery, Thriller, & Suspense Category
“An absolutely first-rate thriller...Emotionally true at each beat.” —New York Times Book Review
“An explosive thriller that plunges into the sewer of human smuggling....Filled with raw power, [Livia Lone] may be the darkest thriller of the year.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“[An] exciting thriller...Eisler keeps a firm hand on the throttle of what could be the first of a rewarding series.” —Publishers Weekly
“Livia is a complex and sympathetic character...Readers of hard-boiled fiction, heavily tinted toward noir, may see in Livia something of Carol O’Connell’s Kathy Mallory, also a cop with an abuse-filled past and an appetite for revenge.” —Booklist
“Eisler offers up an astonishingly raw tale that is dark and disturbing, but one that you will want to finish. Both the compelling narrative and the fascinating—yet seriously flawed—heroine are indications that Eisler is at the top of his game.” —RT Book Reviews
“Barry Eisler is back, and then some. [Livia Lone] may be the best and strongest work of his storied career...Livia Lone moves like a freight train...Jump on what appears to be the start of a terrific new series.” —bookreporter
“This electric thriller...keeps you riveted to the end.” —Authorlink
“...a literary home run in every respect...Livia Lone [reaches] a whole new level...” —Providence Journal
“Former CIA agent Barry Eisler's latest sexy cyber thriller follows Seattle PD sex-crimes detective Livia Lone, who knows the monsters she hunts...the story is riveting.” —Boing Boing
“You won’t be able to tear yourself away as the story accelerates into a Tarantino-worthy climax and when you’re left gasping in the wake of its gut-wrenching vigilante justice, you’ll belatedly realize you learned a lot about a social travesty that gets far too little attention...Livia Lone is a harrowing tale with a conscience.” —Chicago Review of Books
“Everything you could want in a great thriller—a badass main character, an emotional and suspenseful plot, lots of high stakes, gritty murders and well-written action scenes.” —Night Owl Reviews
