The Rook

The Rook is by Daniel O'Malley. The first book in the fantasy Rook Files series. Myfanwy Thomas awakes to find herself in a London park surrounded by dead bodies with no memory of who she is or how she got there. In her pocket she finds a letter from her former self giving her instructions on who she was and what she will need to do to survive. Myfanwy belongs to a secret organization called The Checquy and someone in the organization is trying to kill her. Only her former self doesn't tell her who, can Myfanwy unravel the mystery before it's too late? A wonderfully different and suspenseful thrill ride.
