"Rare and magnificent." — Ken Bruen Five years ago, Jenny Aaron was the star member of an elite team charged with tracking Germany's most dangerous criminals — until a shot to the head left her irreversibly blind. Four weeks ago, Aaron tested the new skills that she's acquired in her world of darkness against Ludger Holm, the psychopath who fired that shot. Now she's learned that her worst enemy has left her a legacy of two billion dollars. Although she knows that it's a trap, Aaron realizes that if she is ever to find peace, she must play Holm's deadly game to the bitter end. "Compassionate moments between characters add poignancy, and a subplot involving Aaron potentially regaining her sight intrigues . . . this is a thriller worth reading." — Publishers Weekly "A first-rate thriller." — The Sunday Times "Author Andreas Pflüger knows the world of crime and the elite units that fight it. And he knows how to make that world — and the world we all live in — vivid." — BookTrib "Jenny Aaron is the blind Sherlock Holmes." — Stefan Ahnhem

“A thrilling tale of abduction and escape in North Korea....highly entertaining." —The Washington PostA propulsive and ambitious thriller about a woman trying to rescue her twin sister from captivity in North Korea, and the North Korean citizens with whom she forms an unlikely allianceStar of the North opens in 1998, when a Korean American teenager is kidnapped from a South Korean beach by North Korean operatives. Twelve years later, her brilliant twin sister, Jenna, is still searching for her, and ends up on the radar of the CIA. When evidence that her sister may still be alive in North Korea comes to light, Jenna will do anything possible to rescue her--including undertaking a daring mission into the heart of the regime. Her story is masterfully braided together with two other narrative threads. In one, a North Korean peasant woman finds a forbidden international aid balloon and uses the valuables inside to launch a dangerously lucrative black-market business. In the other, a high-ranking North Korean official discovers, to his horror, that he may be descended from a traitor, a fact that could mean his death if it is revealed. As the novel progresses, these narrative strands converge and connect in surprising ways, ultimately building to an explosive and unforgettable climax.
