What this book is about
The second Dr. Maria Martinez thriller follows the MI5 analyst — whose Asperger's syndrome gives her exceptional pattern recognition and significant social vulnerability — as she confronts a conspiracy that connects her past to a government project she wasn't supposed to know about. Nikki Owen's series is notable for its portrayal of a neurodivergent protagonist in a genre that rarely gives them center stage.
