About this item
A prescient literary mystery about corporate espionage, family dynamics, and murder: the follow-up to Jane Pek's "thoroughly modern twist on classic detective fiction," The Verifiers (New York Times Book Review) . "Exhilaratingly well-written. I loved it so much that I didn't want it to end." - Emily St. John Mandel on The Verifiers. Claudia Lin - mystery novel superfan and, until recently, clichéd underemployed English major - has scored her dream job: co-running Veracity, a dating detective agency whose mission is to determine if chronically online New Yorkers are telling the truth about themselves to their prospective partners. Unfortunately, along the way, she and her colleagues - tech wizard Squirrel, and the beautiful and intimidating Becks - have uncovered a nefarious AI conspiracy.
About the Author
Hi! I was born and grew up in Singapore, and now live in New York. My short fiction has been anthologised in The Best American Short Stories. My debut novel The Verifiers is forthcoming from Vintage/Knopf in February 2022. During the day, and sometimes night, I work as a lawyer at a global investment company. Some of the things I'm into: picking up different martial arts (to date: taekwondo, capoeira, and Krav Maga) , reading coming-of-age novels, watching contemporary theatre, and cycling around the city in search of superlative almond croissants.
