...I'm talking about Ink and Ashes, the very first winner of Tu Books' New Visions Award:

Even with action and suspense and romance and a car chase and a robbery and a fireball, Valynne E. Maetani's Ink and Ashes is a surprisingly quiet thriller. Much of the mystery-solving involves sneaking around, stealthy lock-picking, and research, and all of that allows for an emotional depth—in looking closely at their father’s past, Claire and her brothers explore some deeply-housed grief; a decade’s worth of best-friendship with Forrest gives their new romance special weight—not always associated with action-thrillers.
