Description

The Ninja Daughter is an action-packed thriller about a Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja with Joy Luck Club family issues who fights the Los Angeles Ukrainian mob, sex traffickers, and her own family to save two desperate women and an innocent child. After her sister is raped and murdered, Lily Wong dedicates her life and ninja skills to the protection of women. But her mission is complicated. Not only does she live above the Chinese restaurant owned by her Norwegian father and inspired by the recipes of her Chinese mother, but she has to hide her true self from her Hong Kong tiger mom who is already disappointed in her daughter's less than feminine ways, and who would be horrified to know what she had become. But when a woman and her son she escorted safely to an abused women’s shelter return home to dangerous consequences, Lily is forced to not only confront her family and her past, but team up with a mysterious—and very lethal—stranger to rescue them.

“Tori Eldridge brings serious game to the thriller genre with THE NINJA DAUGHTER. Action-packed, devious, and with a lead character you’ll truly care about. This debut kicks ten kinds of ass―highly recommended!” ―Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of DEEP SILENCE and V-WARS

"With The Ninja Daughter, Tori Eldridge has created a heroine to love... and to fear! Lily's quest to protect the women of L.A. left me breathless, and Eldridge's snappy, down-to-earth prose kept me flipping pages." ―Rachel Howzell Hall, author of THEY ALL FALL DOWN and the critically-acclaimed DETECTIVE LOU NORTON SERIES

“Complex and engaging, THE NINJA DAUGHTER is a real page-turner with action aplenty but also depth and heart. Lily Wong makes a vividly intriguing heroine with some serious ninja skills. Charlie Fox would team up with her in a heartbeat.” ―Zoë Sharp, author of the CHARLIE FOX THRILLER SERIES

"THE NINJA DAUGHTER is a riveting, rollicking, roller-coaster ride of a thriller. Eldridge's stunningly ambitious debut juggles sub-plots as deftly as it does cultures. As beautifully realized as it is emotionally wrought, THE NINJA DAUGHTER is both striking in its originality and shattering in its ultimate impact." ―Jon Land, USA Today bestselling author of the CAITLIN STRONG SERIES and the MURDER, SHE WROTE SERIES

"Tori Eldridge reinvents Mickey Spillane toughness in THE NINJA DAUGHTER. A thoroughly enjoyable romp with a new literary ball of ninja thunder." ―Weston Ochse, award-winning author of SEAL TEAM 666

"THE NINJA DAUGHTER’s flashing steel and unrelenting action take readers on a non-stop thrill ride. Eldridge combines the honor and discipline of Eastern morays with the cynicism and justice-seeking drive of Western lore to create a spellbinding character, Lily Wong. You’ll want this ninja on your side.” ―International Bestseller K.J. Howe, author of THE FREEDOM BROKER and SKYJACK
