From the author of Annihilation, a brilliant speculative thriller of dark conspiracy, endangered species, and the possible end of all things.
-Jane Smith--not her real name-receives an envelope that contains a note from a woman she doesn-t know and a key to an anonymous storage unit. The key leads her to a pair of taxidermied animals, a hummingbird and a salamander, which turn out to be two of the most endangered creatures on earth.
Jane has set in motion a series of events that quickly spin beyond her control. She is being followed, her home surveilled, her family in peril. The author of the mysterious note-Jane-s only real lead-is already dead. She was, Jane learns, a reputed ecoterrorist. What did she want with Jane?
