A fallen regime. A missing child. A chance at freedom.

By the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Divergent, Poster Girl is a haunting adult dystopian mystery that explores the expanding role of surveillance on society - an inescapable reality that we welcome all too easily.

WHAT'S RIGHT IS RIGHT. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan - she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation.

Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from the Insight's monitoring, went on with their lives.

Sonya, former poster girl for the Delegation, has been imprisoned for ten years when an old enemy comes to her with a deal: find a missing girl who was stolen from her parents by the old regime, and earn her freedom. The path Sonya takes to find the child will lead her through an unfamiliar, crooked post-Delegation world where she finds herself digging deeper into the past - and her family's dark secrets - than she ever wanted to.

Industry Reviews

Roth has pulled off a virtuoso performance, conjuring a stunning thriller/fantasy/sci-fi chimera like nothing I've read before, a story of ex-heroes struggling with the trauma of their past, what it means to have once saved the world, and the dark side of destiny - Blake Crouch, bestselling author of DARK MATTER and RECURSION

Roth somehow manages to make universe-building look easy. She sets it all up - world, characters, premise - so smoothly that you hardly notice until you're a hundred pages in and hurtling down the tracks. An insightful exploration of desire and ambition that also touches on broader societal topics, including celebrity, social media, trauma and recovery - Charles Yu, bestselling author of INTERIOR CHINATOWN

Poster Girl is a captivating story full of twists and turns-and no easy answers. - Karin Slaughter, New York Times bestselling author of Girl, Forgotten

Roth weaves a tale of redemption and regret that kept me riveted and guessing until the last page - Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author of Wool and Across the Sand

Poster Girl is a rare book that is deeply entertaining while making readers consider deep moral issues - Megan Giddings, author of Lakewood and The Women Could Fly

It's an unflinching look at the dangers of spyware and propaganda through a dystopian lens. - Stylist

Remember the Divergent series? My teenage self definitely does. If you do too, then get excited, because the author is back with a brand new (and much more grown up) speculative fiction mystery about a dystopian world under constant surveillance. - Cosmopolitan

Exciting and thought provoking - Peterborough Telegraph
