TROUBLE THE SAINTS
TROUBLE THE SAINTS is a timely and unsettling novel, set against the darkly glamorous backdrop of New York City, where an assassin falls in love and tries to fight her fate at the dawn of World War II.
Amidst the whir of city life, a young woman from Harlem is drawn in to the glittering underworld of Manhattan, where she's hired to use her knives to strike fear among its most dangerous denizens.
Ten years later, Phyllis LeBlanc has given up everything - not just her own past, and Dev, the man she loved, but even her own dreams.
Still, the ghosts from her past are always by her side - and history has appeared at her doorstep to threaten the people she keeps in her heart. And so Phyllis will have to make a harrowing choice, before it's too late - is there ever enough blood in the world to wash clean generations of injustice?
A dazzling, daring novel - a magical love story, a compelling exposure of racial fault lines - and an altogether brilliant saga.
Alaya Dawn Johnson is the award-winning author of fiction for adults and young readers. Her debut young adult novel, The Summer Prince, was a finalist for the Locus and was longlisted for the National Book Award for Young People's Literature, and her follow-up novel, Love is the Drug, won the Andre Norton Award for YA Science Fiction and Fantasy. She has also won the Nebula Award for her novelette, "A Guide to the Fruits of Hawai'i."
