"The Cartographers is one of those exceptionally good books that you really must read twice." via the Washington Post "While there are similarities to Pynchon, Finian's Rainbow, and Borges and Bradbury, Ms. Shepherd's thrilling and delightful work has a unique magical glow." — Journal of Commerce A highly inventive thriller from the critically acclaimed author of The Book of M, about a young woman who finds out that a strange map among her late father's belongings contains an amazing, lethal secret that will set her on an incredible adventure and reveal the truth about her family's dark past. What does a map serve as? Nell Young has been passionate about cartography her whole life. Nell's personal idol is her father, Dr. Daniel Young, a legend in his profession. But since he brutally dismissed her and ruined her name over a cheap, outdated gas station highway map, she hasn't seen or talked to him. But Nell can't help but look into things when she discovers Dr. Young dead in his office at the New York Public Library, with the same apparently useless map stashed away in his desk. She is shocked to learn that the map is very rare and expensive right away. She could even have the final edition in existence at this point since an enigmatic collector has been tracking down and eliminating all of the copies, along with everyone who stands in their path. However, why? Nell sets out on a perilous adventure to uncover a sinister family secret and learns the real power of maps in order to provide an answer to that query.The Cartographers is a tribute to art and science, history and magic—a breathtakingly inventive, contemporary narrative about an old craft and regions yet undiscovered—and is ideal for lovers of Joe Hill and V. E. Schwab.
