AN UNFORGETTABLE, GRIPPING CAT-AND-MOUSE THRILLER, FOR FANS OF MINORITY REPORT AND BLAKE CROUCH

Around the world, twenty-two people have been murdered. The victims fit no profile, the circumstances vary wildly, but one thing links them all: in every case the victim is branded with a number.

With police around the globe floundering and unable to identify any pattern, let alone find a killer, CIA Analyst Quinn Mitchell is called in to investigate.

Before long, Quinn is on the trail of an ice-hearted assassin with seemingly limitless resources - but she's prepared for that.

What she isn't prepared for is the person pulling the strings...

This stunning debut thriller will have you on the edge of your seat.

The plot is intriguing and twisty, and Cantrell has a compelling narrative style. A fast-paced near future thriller that will mess with your head (James Oswald)

Written with a unique blend of vim and wit, Scorpion is a cat-and-mouse, edge-of-your-seat, mind-blowing speculative techno thriller with a killer twist! (Diane Jeffrey, bestselling author of The Guilty Mother)

This stunning near-future thriller takes some truly breathtaking turns...

[Scorpion] takes place in an only slightly futuristic world that snaps and bristles with technological capabilities that may seem distant or improbable but which are in fact just around the corner. There's snappy dialogue, sharp observation, and compelling characters in Quinn, Ranveer, and Henrietta; the technology sings, the physics is plausibly presented, and the suggestion of time travel fascinates. A fast, fun, and intelligent SF thriller.

An exceptional, fast-paced thriller featuring a tech-empowered assassin whose pattern and objective you've never seen before, chased by a heroine with tenacious grit (David Brin)

A gripping real-world espionage thriller . . . Cantrell's worldbuilding is spot-on. It's enough to keep you guessing all the way up to an ending few will predict
