The Rook Files - Book 1
The Rook
“O’Malley’s impressive debut [is] a supernatural detective thriller distinguished by its adept use of humor…Dry wit, surprising reversals of fortune, and a clever if offbeat plot make this a winner. Dr. Who fans will find a lot to like.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
A #1 iBooks bestseller in Science Fiction & Fantasy
Suspenseful and hilarious, this novel is an outrageously imaginative thriller for readers who like their espionage with a dollop of purple slime.
Myfanwy Thomas awakens in a London park surrounded by dead bodies. With her memory gone, she must trust the instructions left by her former in order to survive. She quickly learns that she is a Rook, a high-level operative in a secret agency that protects the world from supernatural threats. But there is a mole inside the organization, and this person wants her dead.
Battling to save herself, Myfanwy will encounter a person with four bodies, a woman who can enter her dreams, children transformed into deadly fighters, and terrifyingly vast conspiracy.
"Utterly convincing and engrossing-totally thought-through and frequently hilarious." -Lev Grossman, Time Magazine
