Jack Quaid’s spy novella, Anonymous Jane, throws a deadly assassin into a high-stakes mission on the wildest day of her life. Today, The Beat can reveal an exclusive preview of the book’s illustrations by Butcher Billy.
Published by NeoText, and currently under feature film development by director Alice Waddington, Anonymous Jane follows the eponymous character—so named as a play on “Jane Doe”—after she receives two life-changing pieces of news on the same day. Here’s the synopsis:
When diplomacy fails, they send in Jane.
For close to fifteen years, Jane has been the tip of the sword when it comes to overthrowing governments, assassinating world leaders, and stealing the most sensitive of secrets.
But when Jane finds out on the same day that she is both pregnant and dying of a terminal illness, her life is thrown into turmoil. That is until she’s presented with a suicide mission: steal an internet master key from Russian Intelligence, save the world and access a cure for her deadly disease.
Anonymous Jane blasts across the page, dragging the spy genre out of the past and throwing it into the here-and-now.
