She knows how to subjugate the will of others, control people like puppets - and all her life she hides this dangerous gift. But there are those from whom you cannot hide even your most important secret. An ordinary evening with friends turns into a nightmare for seventeen-year-old Mila Hunt: accused of murder, blackmail, kidnapping by the secret services... Now the girl is forced to work for a secret organization. There is no choice: serve the goals of the government - or end up in prison, and besides, set up your best friend. The usual city, divided into a prosperous Center and a Periphery closed from the rest of the inhabitants, reveals itself to Mila from the other side. Danger lurks here at every turn, and the reality turns out to be more surprising than the wildest speculation. And even though she is just a pawn in this game, Mila Hunt must win. French writer Thierry Serfaty publishes detective thrillers for adults under his own name, and signs books for young readers with the pseudonym Eli Anderson. “Mila Hunt” is a story that also includes a fantastic plot, and detective intrigue, and the tension of a thriller. This is a world thought out to the smallest detail, with its own ideas about social justice and brave heroes challenging the regime. Eli Anderson's action-packed novel will appeal to those who are fascinated by the aesthetics of Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games and Veronica Roth's Divergent.
