Introducing a witty heroine for the twenty-first century: a newbie detective who explores the real and virtual terrain of New York in her first book about murder, love, and technology.
Claudia Lin is used to eschewing the model-minority expectations of her turbulent family; she is not interested in pursuing a traditional professional path or marrying a decent Chinese male. She's also used to hiding things from them, including her preference for ladies and the fact that Veracity, an online dating detective firm that only accepts recommendations, just surreptitiously hired her.
Claudia, a longtime mystery reader who studied Jane Austen for her senior thesis, thinks she has found her dream job. However, Claudia defies procedure to look into a missing customer and discovers a web of business and personal dishonesty. The Verifiers is a perceptive and insightful look at how technology influences our decisions and the nature of romantic love in the digital age. It is half literary mystery, part family tale.
