Synopsis

Wolf is a vagrant pavement artist on the streets of Amsterdam. He remembers nothing before the hospital, where he was treated for gunshot wounds. The police want to talk to him and sinister men are on his trail—he has to find a way into his mysterious past before his ignorance kills him. Robin Carlson, rebellious daughter of a U.S. general, has a do-it-my-way attitude. Stranded in Amsterdam, she puts her military training to use as a martial arts instructor and part-time bouncer in the city’s nightclubs. Robin’s desperate bid to help her on-again, off-again boyfriend catapults her into the murky world of illegal designer drugs. Wolf follows his heart and blunders into deep trouble. Robin and Wolf's paths are about to cross, but can they survive the Nemesis Project?

About this title

Reviews

*Starred Review* Edgy, gritty, and dark, Rann's debut novel is set in Amsterdam. Street vagrant Jan Wolf has no memory of his previous life. The last thing he remembers is being released from a hospital after suffering a mysterious illness. American Robin Carlson, a thirtysomething martial-arts instructor, has come to Amsterdam to find herself. She comes home late one night to discover that her old pal Cary Bowman has broken into her apartment. He looks nearly deranged and begs Robin to help find his missing friend, Kris de Haan, but refuses to say why he is so frantic. Robin senses inexplicable danger but agrees to help. What she doesn't know is that de Haan is a secret agent set to ferret out the players behind the Nemesis Project, a plan with horrifying global implications. The search to find the missing de Haan will lead her not only into mortal danger but also onto a collision path with the vagrant Jan Wolf, whose amnesia about his past hides terrible secrets. If all this sounds a bit weird, it is. But Rann is able to take a story that in less gifted hands might seem outlandish and make it absolutely mesmerizing. The violence and suspense are palpable, and the characters are completely riveting. A must-read from this promising new writer. Emily Melton
