Charlotte Alter
What if a New York City museum hid a secret that could change the world, but only one woman knew how to find it? See Jane Run introduces a bold new voice in suspense fiction.
Juniper Gray, a once hotshot journalist now turned jaded listicle writer, is struggling to find purpose after a destabilizing divorce and the all-consuming demands of mothering a toddler. She’s also reeling from the news that a few months earlier, her childhood best friend, Miriam Kohan, disappeared. Her world is turned on its head when Miriam's mother Annie—Juniper’s former mentor, and a renowned art historian and curator—is found murdered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
In her final moments, Annie scrawled a cryptic code at the base of a painting of the Madonna and child, which mentions Juniper by name. The cops think she might have answers—or indeed, might be a murder suspect—but when Juniper arrives at the Met, she is taken aside by an unlikely ally, a young woman named Tamara who was part of a top-secret network Annie had led.
On the run from the police with Tamara, Juniper must now use the journalistic skills she thought she had lost to decipher a trail of Annie’s clues that lead her around New York City, in search of Miriam. Juniper soon realizes that Miriam, a formidable fertility scientist, was on the verge of a discovery that could reshape the world, and she's not the only one on the hunt for the truth. Juniper finds herself in a race against the clock to clear her name, save Miriam, and solve the mystery at the heart of Miriam’s research and Annie's death, all before the real killer catches up to her.
At once a page-turning mystery, a primer on ancient feminist artifacts, a love letter to New York City's cultural institutions, and a tribute to the power of motherhood, See Jane Run launches an exciting new voice in commercial fiction.
批評家のレビュー
“Impossibly smart, blisteringly fast, and damn fun, See Jane Run is your next art-world thriller obsession. Both a novel about what women are capable of when pushed to their limits and an enthralling puzzle-box, Alter has crafted a feminist Da Vinci Code for the ages. Anyone who ever dreamed of going behind the scenes in a museum (haven’t we all!?) will devour this suspenseful tour de force.”—Katy Hays, New York Times bestselling author of The Cloisters
“Charlotte Alter has spent years writing sharp, incisive nonfiction about women and power, so it's no surprise her delicious fiction debut does the same thing, all wrapped in a murder at the Met and a conspiracy winding through Manhattan. A feminist Da Vinci Code about motherhood, ambition, and the stories women leave behind, See Jane Run is exactly the kind of propulsive mystery I want to press into everyone's hands this summer. I'd follow Alter's pen, and her jaded journalist heroine, Juniper Grey, anywhere.”—Amy Chozick, New York Times bestselling author of With Friends Like You
“Alter’s taut thriller is also a love letter to New York, one that sends the reader on a metropolitan, high-stakes scavenger hunt filled with satisfying twists and shocking revelations. Not only is the story-telling terrific, Alter delves into the historic iconography and the speculative future of fertility, motherhood, and gender inequality, while never letting the tension fade. A wild ride of a book, one that I highly, highly recommend.”—Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling author of The Jewel of Sugar Hill
“Action-packed, wildly fun, and so damn smart, See Jane Run is a thrilling adventure with a slam-dunk ending. You do not want to miss this wholly original story.”—Jessica Goodman, New York Times bestselling author of The Counselors
“If National Treasure took women, women's history, and women's issues seriously, it would wish it could be Charlotte Alter's See Jane Run. Adrenaline laced and thought provoking, See Jane Run is a timely thrill ride that takes on everything from AI to control over women's bodies. An exhilarating feat!”—Alice Martin, author of Westward Women
