- Book 1:
The Fixer
The Fixer, published in July 2015, opens Jennifer Lynn Barnes's duology at 372 pages, moving Tess Kendrick from her grandfather's Montana ranch to Washington, D.C., where she's enrolled in an elite prep school and discovers she's inherited her professional-fixer half-sister's knack for solving problems nobody wants solved.

The Long Game
The Long Game continued directly from The Fixer's cliffhanger in June 2016 at 360 pages, the shorter of the two books and the conclusion to Jennifer Lynn Barnes's single continuous story. It keeps political fixer-in-training Tess Kendrick navigating the Washington power-broking scandals and cover-ups she inherited from her half-sister, treating the duology as one story split across two volumes rather than a standalone sequel.

About The Fixer
Tess Kendrick is used to running her own life on her grandfather's Montana ranch, so being shipped off to live with a half-sister she barely knows -- a professional political "fixer" who cleans up messes for Washington's elite -- and enrolled in an elite D.C. prep school is a jarring change. Tess quickly discovers she's inherited her sister's knack for reading people and solving problems nobody's supposed to know about, and gets pulled into the kind of power-broking scandals and cover-ups that could take down a president.
Jennifer Lynn Barnes sets this duology in Washington political-thriller territory rather than the puzzle-mansion or profiler settings of her other series, mixing a fish-out-of-water boarding-school plot with genuine political intrigue -- blackmail, cover-ups, and the machinery of power -- filtered through a teenage protagonist learning she has a gift for fixing exactly the kind of problems people want buried.
