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.

Janet Evanovich
In a genre packed with corpses, car chases, and high-stakes drama, Janet Evanovich carved out a space all her own—where crime meets comedy, and chaos is just another day in the life of bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. Blending mystery with mischief and a dash of romantic tension, Evanovich didn’t just break the mold of the traditional detective novel—she reloaded it with glitter, attitude, and Trenton, New Jersey swagger.
Long before she became one of the most recognizable names in crime fiction, Evanovich was a working mom in New Hampshire, writing romance novels at the kitchen table between carpools and casseroles. Her early career in romance taught her pacing and character chemistry, but it wasn’t until she added explosions, handcuffs, and the occasional donut-fueled stakeout that her voice truly found its wild, unmistakable rhythm.
Gabriela Rose
In the Gabriela Rose series, Janet Evanovich delivers an exhilarating mix of adventure, mystery, and heart-pounding action.
