Now in development as a television series from the producer of the Academy Award Winning Best Picture, Crash!
Novelist Jessica Brody explores the thorny issue of infidelity in her dazzling debut, THE FIDELITY FILES, the story of a charismatic Los Angeles woman who goes undercover as a “fidelity inspector” to find out who's faithful and who's not.
Working under the code name Ashlyn, Jennifer Hunter is hired by suspicious wives and girlfriends to conduct her infamous “fidelity inspection” on the men in their lives.
But Jen’s double life starts to take its toll and her friends and family suspect that the reason she never dates is more complicated than the demands of her supposed “investment banking” career. And when a suspicious email surfaces with her picture on it warning men of her real motives, Jen fears that her secret identity is in danger of being uncovered. Just when it seems like nothing is going her way, Jen meets sexy, sophisticated Jamie Richards. She knows there’s no room for real romance in her life, yet she finds herself drawn to him. But before she retires her secret agent self for the sake of true love, she takes on one last assignment – a job which will permanently alter her perceptions of trust, honesty, and love.
"The Fidelity Files is a gem. Brody's protagonist is utterly believable and for a book about cheating spouses it is surprisingly touching in parts. If you want your chick-lit edgier and slightly more unpredictable than the usual fare then this is the book for you." —News of the World (UK)
"...an absorbing story and fun to read (even for guys)." —Associated Press

"This quick, engaging story has well-defined characters and a deftly paced plot. Heroine Jennifer Hunter, aka Ashlyn, is reminiscent of TV's Sydney Bristow from Alias, although instead of killing bad guys, she exposes bad husbands -- and always flies first class while doing it. This is a terrific debut novel." —Romantic Times Book Review(4 star review!)
"Jessica Brody has written a sharp, compelling story that the reader will not want to put down. Jennifer and her alter ego, Ashlyn, take the reader on the roller coaster ride of life, lust, betrayal, and love."
