Paperback: Have you ever thought about buying a counterfeit product?
Maybe a watch or a handbag for fun?
After you read Fake (2016), the first book in the series featuring Finn Teller, corporate spy, you will think again.
From Thriller Award-winning author Twist Phelan comes “a new and capable heroine you’ll want to see again” (Jan Burke, Edgar® Award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author). Fake, the first book in Phelan’s new series featuring corporate spy Finn Teller, shines a light on the netherworld of counterfeit goods.
A routine undercover assignment at a Milan fashion house for MorCo, the corporate behemoth whose owner has political aspirations, turns into something else for Finn Teller, corporate spy, when MorCo's CEO hires her to investigate a train wreck in Croatia - scene of her most tragic professional failure and home to terrorists who are still out for revenge.
Finn's boss assures her she will be in and out of the country before her old enemies know she is there. But things at MorCo are not as they seem, and before long the train crash is the least of her worries as Finn must win a face against the clock to stop the spread of a deadly African pandemic and escape with her life.
Fake is a page-turning mystery that will keep you guessing up to the end. Michael Connelly described it as "full of character and good storytelling." Currently, there are five books in the Finn Teller Mystery series.
About the author: Thriller Award-winning author Twist Phelan is a modern nomad, a world traveller and endurance athlete, telling stories as she travels the world.
Twist has always been a storyteller. Growing up in a half-Irish family meant coming to dinner with “an interesting story to tell.” While at Stanford earning her undergraduate and law degrees, she wrote for the student paper. As a plaintiff’s trial lawyer suing middle-aged white guys who stole other people’s money, she wove evidence into compelling narratives that persuaded juries. Now, as a writer, she creates characters who enlighten, entertain, and endure long after the tale is finished. Her work has won awards, been featured in “Best Of” compilations, and been praised by Michael Connelly, Sue Grafton, Margaret Maron, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, and Booklist.
She is also a peripatetic world traveler. After retiring from a successful law career, Twist bought a boat and circumnavigated the globe (with her Norwegian Forest cat) for ten years. She also earned her private pilot’s wings.
Twist continues to explore the world while combining her passion for storytelling and travel in her books, including the Finn Teller Corporate Spy mystery series. Her blog chronicles her journeys as she continues to fight crime in fiction and reign as the Queen of Living Out of a Suitcase, packing everything from cycling togs for Australia to gowns for the Italian opera in one carry-on. During the past decade, she has competed in Ironman triathlons, skate-skied in Scandinavia, team-roped in the American West, paddled outrigger canoe in Australia, rock-climbed in South America, and bicycled from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast in less than four weeks.
