""An entertaining cross-border adventure, sure to thrill readers.""—Kirkus Reviews

""Filled with art heists, cultural immersion, detective woes, and kids plunging into dangerous situations without any hesitation, Khan's debut is a fun historical adventure with a plot that feels like it exists almost outside of reality, but it remains grounded through its firm roots in culture and family.""—Booklist ""An entertaining cross-border adventure, sure to thrill readers.""—Kirkus Reviews

Author Information

Shafaq Khan is a mom and lawyer. Born to Pakistani parents, she grew up in a small port city in Saudi Arabia, along the Persian Gulf, called Jubail Industrial City. Shafaq attended college in New York City, majoring in political science and Middle Eastern and Asian languages and cultures, before heading to law school. She worked for nearly a decade as a legal services attorney, representing low-income people with disabilities facing eviction and benefits issues. In this role, Shafaq became acquainted with people's stories—the ones we tell and the ones we don't—and learned to listen to the stories beneath the surface. Shafaq works at Stanford Law School and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and children.
