Abandoned: Max Revere Novel Book 5

Allison Brennan, the New York Times bestselling author, skillfully crafts a gripping tale of a seasoned investigator facing the most crucial—and perilous—mystery of her career. Max Revere, an investigative reporter, has tackled numerous cases, yet the one mystery she has never dared to unravel is the enigma of her own past. Abandoned by her mother at the age of nine, Max was left with only sporadic postcards as a connection to her. However, her mother never returned to reclaim her daughter. Seven years after the postcards ceased, Martha Revere was officially declared dead, with no clues as to her whereabouts. That is, until now.

Armed with a solitary lead—that her mother’s vehicle vanished sixteen years earlier in a small town on the Chesapeake Bay—Max drops everything in pursuit of the truth. Delving into her investigation, Max uncovers a shocking revelation that Martha had joined forces with a swindler. Together, they traversed the globe, surviving on Martha’s wealth and duping unsuspecting victims.

Despite the lack of information regarding Martha or her disappearance, Max senses deception from multiple sources. Upon discovering that the FBI is actively pursuing the con artist, Max is convinced she is on the right track. However, as Max delves deeper into the shadowy secrets of the seemingly picturesque community, she realizes that the only probable outcome might be meeting the same violent fate as her mother.
