Some stories don’t fade with time. They claw their way back—louder, sharper, unfinished.
In Hornet’s Nest, debut author Lee Sato cracks open a world of buried secrets, political power, and the kind of trauma that doesn’t just haunt you—it drives you. This gripping psychological thriller is now available globally, and early readers are already buzzing:
“A true mystery… It was really good! So many twists. I was hooked!” – BookishPenguin
What It’s About
FBI agent Jara Quinn knows how to navigate chaos. But when Katerina, daughter of a powerful senator, shows up at her office carrying the weight of a devastating family crime, things get messy fast.
What starts as a straight-up investigation quickly turns into a twisting labyrinth of lies, betrayal, and hard moral choices. Jara’s not just chasing a killer—she’s pulling at threads that could unravel everything: reputations, families, careers… even herself.
Because in this world? The truth always costs something.
Who’s Behind It
Lee Sato isn’t writing from imagination alone. She’s lived in the middle of society’s darkest corners—working with gangs in the ’80s, tackling adolescent psychiatry in the ’90s, and investigating child abuse cases until her retirement in 2017. She’s seen the damage. She’s met the people behind the headlines. And she knows how often justice doesn’t come.
“Closure was rare,” she says. “Writing became the only way to process the things I couldn’t unsee.”
With the support of her partner of 20 years, Sato took those lived experiences and shaped them into Hornet’s Nest—a debut with sharp teeth, emotional weight, and a lead character you’ll want in your corner.
