Hornet’s Nest – A Bold Female-Driven Crime Series by Lee Sato

Launch Point Press is proud to announce the release of Hornet’s Nest: Book One in the Jara Quinn Series by debut author Lee Sato, available in paperback and eBook formats beginning July 25, 2025.

Blending heart-pounding suspense with sharp psychological insight, Hornet’s Nest introduces readers to Jara Quinn. After losing her parents in a tragic accident during college, Jara Quinn finds purpose in becoming an FBI agent, while her first love, Katerina Lansing, follows a path in law. Though life separates them, a lingering connection remains. Years later, they are reunited when Katerina faces personal and political turmoil—her grandmother dies under mysterious circumstances, and her father’s presidential campaign casts a long shadow of suspicion. As Jara helps investigate the unfolding mystery, their old flame reignites. Together, they uncover dark secrets, dangerous conspiracies, and a threat that puts everything they love at risk. As tension rises, Jara and Katerina must confront both external dangers and the growing emotions between them—testing whether their love can survive betrayal, danger, and the truth.
