Specimen
by Lisa Towles
Genre: YA Psychological Thriller, Suspense
Thea Riggs is shocked by a dead body in the empty house she
was summoned to. It feels like a setup, like she’s being framed for murder. By
the time she discovers a connection between the body and the internet game
everyone’s playing, it’s too late. They know she’s onto them. Now she’s their
next target.
Lured to an underground San Francisco lab, she pieces
together the hidden agenda behind what she’s seen – scientific experiments, a
secret society of operatives, a labyrinth of lies hiding a decades-old cold
case. She’s in deep and knows too much, but now they’ve threatened her mother.
Can she alone bring down a secret crime syndicate, or is the cost of justice
too high?
