Gabriela Rose · #1
The Recovery Agent
#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 on every page.

What sets Gabriela Rose apart from other action-adventure series is the blend of intense, globe-spanning quests and the deep emotional connections that drive Gabriela’s decisions. She’s not just a treasure hunter—she’s a woman who must confront her past, including the enigmatic Rafer Jones, her ex-husband who insists on joining her latest mission. Their dynamic adds a layer of tension and humor, making their partnership as thrilling as the treasure hunts themselves.
From jungle expeditions to urban intrigue, each book in the series takes readers on a ride through high-stakes situations, where every decision counts and every step could lead to danger. But it’s not just the action that pulls you in—it’s the way Gabriela’s journey unfolds with authenticity.

The stakes are high, the puzzles are complex, and the world of Gabriela Rose is rich with characters who feel as real as the heart-pounding adventures they embark on.
