The Locator

His sister has been missing for fourteen months. His nephew is a sixteen-year-old genius who spent four months surveilling a cartel operation from his bedroom window. And Noah Hernandez - data forensics specialist, reluctant hero, professional finder of things people don't want found - just got on a plane to San Diego. He told himself it was fine. It was not fine. THE LOCATOR is a propulsive thriller about family, obsession, and the uncomfortable truth that the people we love are capable of secrets we'd never imagine. When Noah arrives at his sister Angel's empty apartment, he expects to find a woman who checked out from life for a while. What he finds instead is a sixteen-year-old nephew who has been quietly, methodically, and brilliantly documenting a criminal network from his desk chair - and a trail that leads from the California coast to the other side of the border, into the hands of the FBI, and toward something far stranger and more dangerous than anyone bargained for. Noah is a man who follows signal, not noise. But the signal on this case is leading him somewhere his training never prepared him for. Featuring a cast of unforgettable characters - a federal agent who answers on the second ring for a reason, a kid who speaks in chess metaphors and encrypted file trees, and a woman named Reyes who communicates entire conversations in a single nod - THE LOCATOR is the kind of thriller that makes you miss your exit because you had to know what happened next. Three parts. Twenty-seven chapters. One family that refuses to break. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Tana French, and anyone who's ever needed to find something - or someone - before it was too late.
