Description
Summary:"Tess Maxwell grew up fascinated by the stars and her father Harry's stories and scientific lessons. But ever since Harry's death ten years ago, Tess has felt out of sync with the world and suspects that there's more to her father's work--and death--than anyone has let on. When she discovers a cryptic puzzle he left behind, she's thrust into the hidden world of the Paradox Club, a covert organization operating out of an unremarkable Manhattan brownstone where scholars guard knowledge with the power to reshape human history. But the club is fracturing, a rouge member is moving to exploit its assets, and Tess's family is at the center of it all. As she races to uncover the truth about Harry's research, Tess becomes a pawn in a battle for control of the society and the world-altering information it protects. Can she confront the paradox at the heart of her father's work and her difficult past to solve the mysteries of her identity, Harry's death, and the universe?"--
