The Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes
An intense, globe-trotting thriller with cinematic flair. From the author of I Am Pilgrim, The Year of the Locust is a bold, high-stakes espionage story that had me hooked from the first chapter. Packed with twists, action, and just enough emotional depth to keep it grounded, this book was exactly the kind of fast-paced escape I’d been craving. If you're in the mood for a smart, sprawling spy novel, this one’s worth the wait.
