Description
A mysterious envelope sets off a chain of events in this gripping novel by Jeff VanderMeer. Jane receives a note with a key to an anonymous storage unit, leading her to a pair of taxidermied animals - a hummingbird and a salamander - two of the world's most endangered species. As she delves deeper into the mystery, Jane finds herself being followed, surveilled, and threatened by various parties. The enigmatic woman who sent the note is revealed to be an ecoterrorist, leaving behind a trail of cryptic clues and sinister intentions. With time running out, Jane must navigate a complex web of threats from profiteering wildlife smugglers, an amoral energy company, and extremist groups. This tightly plotted tale of survival raises profound questions about the fight to preserve our planet's most vulnerable creatures.
