Description

“Kaplan takes the thriller genre at its word, moving as fast as Ludlum, but with ten times the eye for settings and crisp characterization.”
—Kirkus Reviews

A death on the French Riviera.

A secret men will kill for.

And a terrible danger only one woman can stop.

A candidate for U.S. President, ahead in the polls and about to win the election, suddenly commits suicide. No one knows why. A mysterious woman the media has dubbed "the Invisible Woman" may hold the key.

During a botched jewel heist on the French Riviera, an American bystander is killed. This death triggers a worldwide hunt by intelligence agencies for something the dead American left behind - a secret so explosive they will let nothing get in their way.

U.S. Homeland Security Special Agent Casey Ramirez is a young woman with a troubled past. On the trail of a human trafficking ring, she uncovers a clue involving the dead American in France. The discovery catapults her into a deadly cat-and-mouse chase across Europe to find the dead man's secret before it's too late.

A secret that threatens the foundations of the American government.

Master storyteller Andrew Kaplan weaves these disparate elements into a stunning tale of international intrigue.

“Flawlessly conceived . . . The characters are unforgettable. Kaplan is up there with the best.”

Advance Praise

"As I begin to write my review I’m wondering if I can truly capture the adrenaline spikes, the unforeseen adventures, the detours leading to more breathtaking twists, and the wonder if truth will prevail...How many adjectives may I use without being excessive? Edge-of-the-seat, galvanizing, spectacular, high-voltage, and powerful convey only a tingle of the goose bumps, the grip of nerve-endings, and acceleration of suspense that is a complicated puzzle to unravel. I found Mr. Kaplan’s writing in a class by itself and any quantity of descriptive adjectives should not be deemed extravagant. It’s a disquieting and thought-provoking thriller that captivated this reader from beginning to end. Each detail heightened my awe to share it is the "best-of-the-best" suspenseful writing I’ve ever read."

"Add Blue Madagascar to this list of 2021’s suspense-driven and best-selling novels: The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz, While Justice Sleeps by Stacy Abrams, and the forthcoming The Stranger in the Mirror by Liv Constantine.

Andrew Kaplan’s spellbinding thriller begins with news reports that the predicted winner of the upcoming presidential election commits suicide. Unfortunately, readers will not be able to turn pages fast enough to keep pace with the investigation that circles the globe as intelligence and law enforcement agencies from various countries attempt to uncover the truth.

Early reviews compare Kaplan to Robert Ludlum, and reading Blue Madagascar is reminiscent of Ludlum’s finest. A flawlessly complex plot drives this breathtaking read from the first line to the last word. Blue Madagascar takes readers on an electrifying journey, so sign up now for a seat."
