Description
“An absolutely first-rate thriller.”—New York Times Book Review
Seattle PD sex-crimes detective Livia Lone knows the monsters she hunts. Sold by her Thai parents along with her little sister, Nason; abused by the men who trafficked them; marooned in America...the only thing that kept Livia alive as a teenager was her determination to find Nason.
Livia has never stopped looking. And she copes with her failure to protect her sister by doing everything she can to put predators in prison.
Or, when that fails, by putting them in the ground.
But when a fresh lead offers new hope of finding Nason and the men who trafficked them both, Livia will have to go beyond just being a cop. Beyond even being a vigilante. She’ll have to relive the horrors of the past. Take on one of the most powerful men in the US government. And uncover a conspiracy of almost unimaginable evil.
In every way, it’s an unfair fight. But Livia has two advantages: her unending love for Nason—
And a lifelong lust for vengeance.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Author Barry Eisler narrates his own work with the skill of a professional voice actor.... He never strains credulity as Livia transitions from child victim to confident woman and avenging angel for the abused. Livia's male abusers—especially her stepfather—practically hiss with vileness, like coiled snakes. When young Livia learns jujutsu and starts fighting back, listeners will share her visceral catharsis and newfound empowerment." (AudioFile)

A heartbreaking, dark revenge journey.
The story is one of tragedy and suffering of the worst variety - child abuse. The story is obviously based on timely events; the inspiration from real life psychopaths like Peter Scully & Benjamin Faulkner (and their crimes) are quite apparent.
And believe it or not - as horrific as the details portrayed in Livia Lone seem - tragically, it takes very little research to realize that what happens in the real world is far more depraved, and far more rampant.
Nevertheless, in Livia Lone you will find a fairly believable character that lives through hell, learns to endure it, and who then grows strong enough to face it - and take revenge on her abusers.
There are a few moments where readers are asked to suspend their disbelief in order to move the plot forward; and it wouldn’t be an Eisler novel without a tremendous appreciation for Judo & related martial arts - but these don’t distract too much from the core narrative.
In all, it’s a great novel and you will not regret finishing it.
Eisler provides us with a satisfying conclusion that acts as a sort of mental salve to sublimate the fact that - in the real world - these young girls will be far more likely to end up like Rebecca, Ophelia & Nasan than they will becoming like Livia.

Thank you. I mean it ... thank you.
This was more than a story it was an experience and now a memory. 25 years I have worked in Mental Health. The author's understanding of the heart and mind and the mutuality between them... stirs the reader to the marrow of the bone.

Revenge story
This is more of a story about revenge than a mystery, but gratifying and engrossing nevertheless. The theme of child sexual exploitation and human trafficking is all too real, a fact that makes the story all the more vivid and disturbing. I wish all former victims of child abuse could turn into avenging angels like Livia, or rather that they feel as powerful as Livia and that the justice would work to prevent and protect innocents everywhere. Too bad the latter is more of a fantasy than this novel!
