Publisher Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author and “thriller master” (Mystery and Suspense Magazine) Janet Evanovich returns with the launch of a “tense, suspenseful, funny, and wise” (Lee Child) series blending wild adventure, hugely appealing characters, and pitch-perfect humor.
Lost something? Gabriela Rose knows how to get it back. As a recovery agent, she’s hired by individuals and companies seeking lost treasures, stolen heirlooms, or missing assets. She’s reliable, cool under pressure, and well trained in weapons of all types. But Gabriela’s latest job isn’t for some bamboozled billionaire, it’s for her own family, whose home is going to be wiped off the map if they can’t come up with a lot of money fast.
Inspired by an old family legend, Gabriela sets off for the jungles of Peru in pursuit of the Ring of Solomon and the lost treasure of Lima. But this job comes with a huge problem attached to it—Gabriela’s ex-husband, Rafer. It’s Rafer who has the map that possibly points the way to the treasure, and he’s not about to let Gabriela find it without him.
Rafer is as relaxed as Gabriela is driven, and he has a lifetime’s experience getting under his ex-wife’s skin. But when they aren’t bickering about old times the two make a formidable team, and it’s going to take a team to defeat the vicious drug lord who has also been searching for the fabled ring. A drug lord who doesn’t mind leaving a large body count behind him to get it.
“A rollicking adventure and a great start to a new series” (Booklist, starred review), The Recovery Agent will have you clamoring for more and cheering for the unstoppable Gabriela Rose on every page.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Author Janet Evanovich launches a fun, action-packed new series with this globe-trotting adventure. Recovery agent Gabriela Rose tracks down lost and stolen treasures for her wealthy clients, but her latest case is personal. A devastating hurricane has wiped out her small South Carolina hometown, and her family needs millions—fast—to help rebuild it. An old family legend says there’s a treasure belonging to them that’s hidden in a South American jungle. Problem is, the map now belongs to Gabriela’s ex-husband, Rafer—who insists on coming along. We loved the lived-in sniping between hyper-driven Gabriela and charmingly chill Rafer as they trek through snake-infested jungles and face off against a ruthless adversary who claims the treasure as his own. Lorelei King, longtime narrator from Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, nails Gabriela’s confident, fearless personality and has a lot of fun with the quirky side characters. The Recovery Agent balances humor, fun supernatural vibes, and genuine thrills for an enjoyable listen that recalls the classic ’80s adventure comedy Romancing the Stone.
Customer Reviews
Ok not great
I was excited for another JE series but I can’t see where this one will last. A lot of violence and a bit of torture which was not what I expected. I’ll stick to Plum!
Very Entertaining!
Listening to the audiobook gave me visions of the Stephanie Plum characters. But, I got into the story and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am patiently awaiting the next adventure with Gabriela and Rafer.
Loved it!
Another thrilling, adventurous book that you can't put down until you reach the end!
