Perfect for you if...

You love fast-paced thrillers with protagonists who take charge and don't wait for permission from anyone.
You're drawn to mysteries that are deeply personal. The stakes feel real because they're happening to someone you're rooting for.
You appreciate crime fiction that mixes procedural detail with genuine emotional weight, not just puzzle-solving.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer cosy mysteries or lighter crime reads. This one's darker and the violence is real.
You want a slow burn. Thin Air moves at a sprint from page one and doesn't let up.
You need your detective to be morally uncomplicated. Jessica operates in moral grey zones and doesn't always play by the rules.

About this book

Private investigator Jessica Shaw receives an anonymous photo of a three-year-old kidnapped from Los Angeles twenty-five years ago. She recognizes the child as herself. Determined to find answers, Jessica travels to LA's criminal underworld to investigate. She discovers her biological mother was killed the night of her abduction, and the case has since been abandoned by police. Veteran LAPD detective Jason Pryce is investigating the murder of a college student working as a prostitute. When their paths cross by chance, Jessica realizes Pryce is concealing information about her father's past and her mother's death. As Jessica pursues the truth about her mother's murder and her own disappearance, she uncovers buried secrets from the past. The closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her investigation becomes.
