Perpetual Check is a page-turner with a resolution readers won't see coming. It will please anyone who appreciates interesting characters and mysteries that deliver the unexpected. BlueInk, Starred Review
It's 1985, and to get away from her domineering mother, Dani Morden travels to England with her cream tea-drinking aunt, Lucy. She anticipates a week of touring museums and being bored silly.
What she gets is murder, espionage, and running from unknown killers who are convinced she has something they want. Dani faces dangerous people, hate-fueled by bitter Cold War politics, but to get her and her aunt out alive, she will need to confront the bitterness that festers inside her first.
A fast-paced and fun story straddling cozy mystery and lighthearted character-driven drama, reminiscent of an 1980's John Hughes film. PERPETUAL CHECK takes readers on a nostalgic tour of the past, following characters they would have come across on their travels, just as they remember them.
Clever and surprising, Perpetual Check is a thrilling novel set during the intersection between the decline of the Soviet Union and the dawn of the computer age. Clarion, Foreword Reviews
