Vanessa Michael Munroe – the fearless heroine of the New York Times bestseller The Informationist – returns in a gripping new thriller.

Eight years ago, five-year-old Hannah was spirited out of school and into the closed world of a cult known as The Chosen. Ever since, followers of the cult leader have hidden the child and shielded her from her abductor. Now, childhood survivors of The Chosen who have escaped to make a life for themselves on the outside know where to find Hannah and they have turned to Vanessa Michael Munroe for help.

Munroe reluctantly takes the job, and travels to Buenos Aires to infiltrate the cult and save the girl. Inducted into a world unlike unlike anything she has faced before, Munroe must navigate unpredictable cult members and their dangerous cohorts, the impatient survivors who hired her, and the struggle against her own increasingly violent nature, so she can rescue the child before the window of opportunity closes and Hannah is lost forever.
