From the alleyways of power to the locked doors of trauma, debut author Lee Sato kicks down the gates with Hornet’s Nest — a blistering psychological thriller that doesn’t flinch. This isn’t your average whodunit. This is a deep dive into the murky gray where justice and revenge blur… and everyone has something to hide.
Already earning early praise, one 5-star ARC reader raves:
“A true mystery… It was really good! So many twists. I was hooked!” – BookishPenguin
The Story:
FBI agent Jara Quinn doesn’t play politics — but when a high-profile senator’s daughter, Katerina, shows up with a family tragedy wrapped in secrets, Jara gets pulled into a web of lies that runs way too close to Washington’s inner circle.
As the investigation spirals, so do the stakes: reputations shattered, alliances broken, and ghosts from Jara’s past clawing their way back to the surface. With every twist, Hornet’s Nest asks the question that makes or breaks a life: Who can you really trust?
About the Author:
Lee Sato writes from the trenches — literally. With a career spanning gang intervention, child and adolescent psychiatry, and criminal investigations focused on crimes against children, Sato knows how twisted the real world can get. She also knows closure is rare — which is why she writes stories where truth still matters, even when it cuts deep.
A longtime Indianapolis resident and Franklin College grad with a B.A. in Psychology and Journalism, Sato channels decades of unspoken stories into bold, character-driven fiction. Encouraged by her partner of 20 years, she finally put pen to paper — and Hornet’s Nest was born.
This is just the beginning.
