The Blonde Identity is a hilarious, action-packed, road-trip rom-com
with witty banter, sexy operatives, and the ultimate high-stakes from
New York Times bestselling author, Ally Carter.
It’s the middle of the night in the middle of Paris and a woman just
woke up with no memory.
She only knows three things for certain:
1. She has a splitting headache.
2. The hottest guy she has (probably) ever seen is standing over her,
telling her to run.
And oh yeah . . .
3. People keep trying to kill her.
She doesn’t know who. Or why. But when she sees footage of herself
fighting off a dozen men there’s only one explanation: obviously. . .
she’s a spy! Except, according to Mr. Hot Guy, she’s not. She’s a spy’s
identical twin sister.
Too bad the only person who knows she’s not the woman they’re looking
for is this very grouchy, very sexy, very secret agent who
(reluctantly) agrees to help her disappear. Which is easier said than
done when a criminal organization wants you dead and every intelligence
service in the world wants you caught.
Luckily, no one is looking for a pair of lovesick newlyweds on their
honeymoon. And soon they’re lying their way across Europe—dodging
bullets and faking kisses as they race to unravel a deadly conspiracy
and clear her sister’s name.
But with every secret they uncover, the truth shifts, until she no
longer knows who to trust: the twin she can’t remember or the
mysterious man she can’t let herself forget . . .
The Blonde Identity is the hotly anticipated adult debut from New York
Times bestselling YA author, Ally Carter.
While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a
phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre
has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling
symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort
through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of
clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to
see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.
Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of
Sion, a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor
Hugo, and Da Vinci, and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret.
Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while
avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the
explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.
