Publisher's Summary

#1 New York Times bestselling author and “thriller master” (Mystery and Suspense Magazine) Janet Evanovich returns with the launch of a “tense, suspenseful, funny, and wise” (Lee Child) series blending wild adventure, hugely appealing characters, and pitch-perfect humor.

Lost something? Gabriela Rose knows how to get it back. As a recovery agent, she’s hired by individuals and companies seeking lost treasures, stolen heirlooms, or missing assets. She’s reliable, cool under pressure, and well trained in weapons of all types. But Gabriela’s latest job isn’t for some bamboozled billionaire, it’s for her own family, whose home is going to be wiped off the map if they can’t come up with a lot of money fast.

Inspired by an old family legend, Gabriela sets off for the jungles of Peru in pursuit of the Ring of Solomon and the lost treasure of Lima. But this job comes with a huge problem attached to it—Gabriela’s ex-husband, Rafer. It’s Rafer who has the map that possibly points the way to the treasure, and he’s not about to let Gabriela find it without him.

Rafer is as relaxed as Gabriela is driven, and he has a lifetime’s experience getting under his ex-wife’s skin. But when they aren’t bickering about old times the two make a formidable team, and it’s going to take a team to defeat the vicious drug lord who has also been searching for the fabled ring. A drug lord who doesn’t mind leaving a large body count behind him to get it.

“A rollicking adventure and a great start to a new series” (Booklist, starred review), The Recovery Agent will have you clamoring for more and cheering for the unstoppable Gabriela Rose.

What the critics say

"Fans of Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series, also narrated by Lorelei King, will welcome this new series featuring recovery agent Gabriela Rose. Unlike Stephanie, Gabriela is highly competent, fearless, gunslinging, and a successful businesswoman. King’s voice for Gabriela conveys her strong, confident personality. To save her family’s hometown from ruin, Gabriela pursues an ancient treasure, a ring known as the Seal of Solomon. She reluctantly teams up with her ex-husband, Rafer. Listeners go on an action-packed, deadly quest across continents." (AudioFile Magazine)

Janet you're an awesome author, ditch the romance

fairly predictable plot line as far as the romance element was concerned. to be honest the non-romantic elements of the storyline would carry this book on its own just fine, and I found the romance element to be mildly annoying in the detraction from the main plot. very similar to the plot lines of this author's other books. nonetheless, I still continue to read for the humorous elements.

Disappointing

I was looking forward to this but was so disappointed. The story line was ok but the narration was awful. One person doing all the characters including some with accents was painful— doesn’t work and that was the reason I quit this story without finishing.
