Face Value — Ian Andrew

What is the real price of human trafficking?
These women are about to discover.

Winner of the BookLife Prize for Fiction.

Kara Wright and Tien Tran - Private Investigators - Former Intelligence Operators - veterans of the British Military - Damaged Goods.

Tien, one of the first female soldiers to receive a Military Cross, paid for it with her left arm from below the elbow.
Kara came home from her theatres of war physically fine, but a lack of empathy and hard-wired reactions to events makes her dangerous. To herself as well as others.

Now, when siblings Zoe and Michael Sterling insist that their middle-aged parents have gone missing, Kara and Tien are sceptical and then, intrigued; the father, ex-intelligence analyst Chris Sterling, appears to be involved with an elusive Russian thug.
Regardless, their PI firm is broke and they could do with the cash, but Kara needs to keep looking over her shoulder, for as she and Tien close in on their quarry, a team of Cambridgeshire based detectives are closing in on theirs.

Face Value is the gripping first book in the Wright & Tran crime thriller series.

If you like electrifying action, breathless pacing, and three-dimensional characters, then you'll love this award-winning special ops detective novel.

"With taut writing, bone-crushing action, and a pace that never relents, this was a difficult read to put down and a worthy winner.”
Mark Dawson, USA Today bestselling author.

“Face Value, very different in theme to his first book, once again proves Andrew to be a versatile and gifted writer who delivers books that hold readers from beginning to end. With very well-constructed plots, Andrew delivers adrenalin and excitement laced with imaginative, innovative technology with memorable characters who provide heart and substance to his work.”
