When he goes missing, she's plunged into a world of assassins, spies, and criminal masterminds. When Gwendolyn Bloom’s father vanishes, she sets off on a journey she never bargained for. Traveling under a new identity, she uncovers a disturbing truth: to bring her father back alive, she must become every bit as cruel as the men holding him captive. This suspensful debut from Scott Bergstrom features a strong female character and nonstop, cinematic action.Praise for The Cruelty:\"Liam Neeson’s 2008 film Taken concerned a spy who engages in mass mayhem while attempting to recover his kidnapped daughter. Bergstrom reverses this plot in his violent, well-crafted first novel. Seventeen-year-old gymnast Gwendolyn Bloom doesn’t learn that her father is a genuine spy?and not merely an overworked State Department employee?until after he is kidnapped by international gangsters, and the CIA makes little attempt to recover him . . . A grim, fast- paced tale.\" —Publishers Weekly\"[T]his debut novel is relentlessly paced, full of global sets, slick action...with a grim, ass-kicking antihero.\" —BooklistThe Cruelty is a nominee for the 2018 Edgar Award for best Young Adult book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scott Bergstrom","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53103650996448,"sku":"9781250144195","price":60.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/91YjJVAvVoL._SY522.jpg?v=1781768175","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/the-cruelty","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
