-Mike Krieger, co-founder and former CTO of Instagram Come to Light
is a fresh and original mystery with an unusual detective: Emit
Hopper, a former rock star turned author and artist. Six years ago,
Emit's wife, Julia, went missing. Now the remains of her two hiking
companions have been found buried in the California wilderness. But
the discovery raises more questions than answers, so with his love
for classic detective books and rye whiskey, Emit sets out across
Europe chasing down clues, sketchbook in hand. Quickly, Emit finds
himself embroiled in a plot far larger than he could have imagined:
he becomes a target of a State Department investigation, gets
entangled in an international ring of art thefts, and discovers his
own artwork stolen. He meets an exuberant French nobleman, a
murderous five-year-old, and a bohemian Roman heiress. From the
Venice Biennale to the flooding of Piazza Navona, you'll find
yourself laughing, gasping, and drawing right alongside Emit as he
travels through some of the most beautiful regions of Europe,
unraveling a suspense-filled and surprisingly tangled mystery.
Replete with strikingly rendered drawings that bring this exquisite
and intriguing novel to life, Come to Light is the thrilling
follow-up to the adventures of Emit Hopper, which debuted in Close
Enough for the Angels.
