OLDER FICTION
Bergstrom, Scott

The Cruelty

(4) YA When seventeen-year-old Gwendolyn Bloom's father suddenly disappears, his secret spy identity is revealed. However, the CIA offers little help, believing him to be a defector; to rescue her father, Gwendolyn transforms from reserved teen to deadly assassin and travels across Europe, infiltrating criminal organizations to discover the truth. A standard thriller: heavy on action, suspense, and violence, but light on character development and believability.
