Synopsis

An intricately crafted mystery set
in the contemporary Middle East. 

Zan is a politician’s daughter and an adrenaline junkie.
Whether she’s rock climbing or shoplifting, she loves to live
on the edge. But she gets more of a rush than she bargained
for on a forced mother–daughter bonding trip to Turkey,
where she finds herself in the crosshairs of an antiquities
smuggling ring. These criminals believe that Zan can lead them
to an ancient treasure that’s both priceless and cursed. Until she
does so, she and her family are in grave danger. Zan’s quest to
save the treasure—and the lives of people she cares about—leads
her from the sparkling Mediterranean, to the bustle of Istanbul’s
Grand Bazaar, to the eerie and crumbling caves of Cappadocia.
But it seems that nowhere is safe, and there’s only so high
she can climb before everything comes tumbling down.

“Renn expertly builds tension, sweeping readers away to
exotic locales. Witty and engaging, this book hearkens
back to works by Agatha Christie.”—School Library Journal

“[Zan] learns to be her authentic self in her fight to survive,
a believable character arc that suits the plot nicely. A solid
choice for readers hungry for an absorbing mystery.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Blue Voyage is a tense international adventure, a potent
suspense cocktail that will leave you giddy. Diana Renn
does it again!”—Lamar Giles, Edgar nominated
author of Fake ID and Endangered
