Spies in Plain Sight
A Junie Lagarde Novel: Start Here

- “A tense, twisty thriller.” —Booklist
- “Dynamic… Excites from opening pages” —Publishers Weekly
A bold, international thriller about truth, power, and vengeance — from bestselling author Lynn Hightower.
Junie Lagarde is a citizen journalist with nothing to lose. When most of her team is murdered in a newsroom attack, she and her hearing service dog Leo survive—and go after the billionaire who ordered it.
From a small town in the French Alps to the chaos of the Kentucky Derby, Junie plunges into a dangerous conspiracy involving a shadowy secret society called the Emerald Vipers. But she’s not here to ask permission. She’s here to make the truth loud enough to be heard.
Perfect for fans of fast-paced political thrillers, female-led investigations, and morally gray power plays. Spies in Plain Sight is a standalone novel featuring Junie Lagarde, following The Beautiful Risk.
