Information

Petite Chinese-Canadian accountant Ava Lee is not quite what she seems. Ava is a specialist at recovering stolen money - through any means necessary. With razor-sharp intelligence and unorthodox rules of engagement, Ava works for a Hong Kong-based 'Uncle'. She's also the person the impossibly wealthy turn to when their money goes missing. Employed to track down $5 million for a family friend, Ava's investigation begins a journey that takes her to the US, Hong Kong, Bangkok, the British Virgin Islands and Guyana - a place where Ava may finally have met her match. For anyone missing Lisbeth Salander, meet the very brilliant Ava Lee - a heroine for our times.

Ava Lee is tough, fearless and resourceful... a true original. Linwood Barclay In the age of Lisbeth Salander, it's not hard to see why Hamilton's jet-setting heroine is so appealing. National Post This is a terrific story... Ava Lee is going to be chasing the accounts for a long, long time. Globe and Mail When the central character looks like Lucy Liu, kicks like Jackie Chan and has a travel budget like Donald Trump, the story is anything but boring. Montreal Gazette Ranks as one of my favourite reads for 2011. The West Australian
