She was dead. Now she's the key. In the explosive sequel to The Memo, investigative journalist Miles Clemens thought he'd buried both his career and his past. Then a photograph arrives: Claire Donovan—the Washington Post bureau chief long presumed dead, and the woman he never stopped loving. The story isn't over. It's just beginning. Drawn back into the fight, Miles reunites with Maya Rendón, his fearless partner in exposing a rogue presidency. But what they uncover isn't politics—it's a sprawling human trafficking network, bankrolled by Middle Eastern royalty and protected at the highest levels of international power. And at the center is Claire, alive and embedded inside a covert CIA–MI6 task force. Her mission: dismantle the network from within. Her risk: to become one more victim erased before the world ever learns her name. Into this storm steps Mo'nique Jenkins—a bold, street-smart teenager from D.C. When her best friend vanishes, she charges headlong into danger armed with grit, instinct, and a cell phone. As governments stall and justice falters, three lives converge in a battle to expose what the powerful would rather bury—and a reckoning no one sees coming. Gripping, timely, and deeply human, The Manifest is a high-stakes thriller of truth, sacrifice, and the cost of dragging darkness into the light. Perfect for fans of Homeland, State of Play, and the pulse-pounding novels of David Ignatius, Brad Thor, and David Baldacci. Uncover the truth—read The Manifest today.
