Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The test names how everyone dies. Hers came back as a name.

Maren Cole finds people for a living. Skips, runaways, debtors, ghosts - give her a name and she will rebuild a stranger's entire life out of a parking ticket and a fishing license, because she understands the one thing that undoes everyone: nobody can stop being themselves.

Then a blood test that reveals the cause of every person's death goes public. Take it, and a single line tells you what will end you. Maren takes it because her work demands it - and where everyone else's result names a disease or a date, hers names a person. A stranger she has never met. The one the test says is going to kill her.

So she does the only thing she has ever known how to do.

She hunts him.

Across the country, past every wall, through every lie she has to tell the people who love her, Maren closes in on the man the test has marked - certain that if she finds him first, she can outrun her own ending. She is the best there is. She has never failed to find anyone.

She has never once considered that the hunt itself might be the cause.

The Blood Test is a literary thriller about fate, attention, and the things we cannot put down - the gripping first book in the Blood Series. For readers of Blake Crouch and Nikki Erlick's The Measure, and anyone who has ever believed that knowing is always better than not knowing.

Book One of the Blood Series. The test is never wrong.
