The Doubt Factory
Autor Paolo Bacigalupien Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 2016 – vârsta până la 17 ani
Everything Alix knows about her life is a lie--at least according to the dangerous young man who's been stalking her. But could her dad really be a bad guy at the helm of an organization that covers up the deadly wrongdoings of some of the country's most rich and powerful? Alix has to make an impossible choice between her father and the mysterious young man she's not only falling for, but who's asking her to blow the whistle on the man who raised her. This Edgar Award and Locus Award nominee will make you wonder: could someone you have loved and have known for your whole life actually have the heart of a killer?

*"From the opening pages, this is an action-packed thriller with the FBI, secret service, thousands of rats, a kidnapping, and a little romance.... Bacigalupi scores again."—Library Media Connection, starred review
"A suspenseful, page-turning yarn.... Bound to provoke thought."—Kirkus Reviews
"This gripping, outstanding contemporary story... builds at a steady pace, leading to increasingly dramatic plot twists and a climax that will leave readers' hearts pounding."—School Library Journal
"A searing indictment... Bacigalupi, unafraid to name names, makes readers question the morality of everyday decisions... and recommends that all of us be cynics when it comes to megaconglomerates....Multi-award-winning Bacigalupi is becoming an indispensable voice in YA."—Booklist
"This is a gripping, unsettling read that will no doubt prompt further discussion long after the climactic, cinematic finale."—The Horn Book
"An exciting read... Bacigalupi has done an impressive job of placing the reader in the front seat."—VOYA
"The book's snappy pace, caper set-up, and sharp political perspective easily save the (novel's) day and will bring in readers of thoughtful high action."—The Bulletin
