How Not to Save the World
“How far would you go to advance your career? To save a country? These are the questions posed in this ... smart, sexy, first novel.” – John Manuel, author of THE CANOEIST“

"Remi Austin is one of the most exciting and cosmopolitan action figures in contemporary American fiction.” – John L. Jackson Jr., author of RACIAL PARANOIA

“A futuristic, fast-paced thriller with lots of action and some truly James Bondian technology. Fun to read." – Joyce Clark Allen, author of HANNAH’S HOUSE

Remi Austin is a fundraiser for the African Peace Collaborative (APC), a conflict resolution nonprofit founded by her late mother. Frustrated by her inability to raise funds and faced with the imminent closure of the APC, Remi turns to a life of crime to keep her nonprofit afloat.

From Sydney, to Tokyo, Geneva and Cape Town, Remi transforms from a fundraiser too shy to speak during staff meetings into a daring international art thief who must stop a war from breaking out and figure out how to save herself from a life behind bars.

With the help of her best friend, a designer and inventor who creates gadget-packed gowns, Remi eludes a dashing insurance agent and a terrifying stalker, all while redistributing the wealth of the world, one work of art at a time.
