"Deeply disturbing and chillingly good."--Elizabeth Wein, New York Times bestselling author of Code Name Verity on Orphan Monster Spy "Inglourious Basterds meets Mean Girls."--The Hollywood Reporter on Orphan Monster SpyIt's 1940, and Sarah Goldstein is hiding in plain sight as Ursula Haller, the Shirley Temple of Nazi high society. She helps the resistance by spying on Nazi generals at cocktail parties in Berlin, but she wants to do more. Then her handler, the Captain, gets word of a German doctor who's gone rogue in Central Africa. Rumors say the doctor is creating a weapon of germ warfare--known as "the Bleeding"--that is so deadly it could wipe out entire cities. The Captain and Sarah must find the doctor and seize the Bleeding before the Nazis get ahold of it and use it to murder thousands. Joining them on their journey is Clementine, a half-German, half-Senegalese girl whose wit and ferocity are a perfect match for Sarah's. As they travel through Africa, Clementine's astute observations force Sarah to confront a dark truth about her own allies: that mass extermination didn't start with the Nazis.
Author Biography
Matt Killeen was born in Birmingham, in the UK, back in the war-mad seventies--a hometown largely demolished and rebuilt in his lengthy absence. People tend to dismiss what comes more easily to them as unworthy, so it took him far too long to realize he was a writer. He worked as an advertising copywriter and largely ignored music and sports journalist in the noughties, before fulfilling a childhood dream to join the LEGO(R) Group in 2010. He left after eight years, and an unconscionable amount of money spent in the staff store, to become a full-time author. A lover of costume parties, he is an avid gamer, soccer fan, toddler wrangler, and warrior for truth and social justice. Although a devout urbanite, he has somehow ended up surrounded by fields in a house full of LEGO(R) bricks and musical instruments, with his two diversely aged children, Nuyorican soul mate, and neurotic, fluffy dog. Orphan Monster Spy was his debut novel, and he has still not learned to touch-type.
