Perfect for you if...

  • You want crime fiction that doesn't shy away from the humanity of people society has written off, especially those caught in addiction.
  • You loved Mystic River or similar literary thrillers where the emotional weight matches the mystery's grip.
  • You're drawn to stories about sisters and fractured families, where love and estrangement exist in the same breath.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer light reads or cosy mysteries. This book sits firmly in hard-bitten territory, with unflinching scenes of street-level addiction.
  • You want a straightforward police procedural with clear answers. Moore braids past and present in ways that sometimes complicate the plot's trajectory.
  • You're looking for an uplifting story. This one is compassionate, but it doesn't offer easy resolutions or feel-good turns.

About this book

Two sisters navigate the same Philadelphia streets but live vastly different lives. Kacey struggles with addiction on the streets, while Mickey works as a police officer in the same neighborhood affected by the opioid crisis. The sisters no longer speak, though Mickey remains concerned about her sibling. When Kacey disappears and a series of murders begins in Mickey's district, Mickey becomes obsessed with finding both the killer and her missing sister before it's too late. The novel alternates between the present-day mystery and the sisters' shared childhood and adolescence, weaving together suspense with an exploration of family bonds, addiction, and the connections between place, family, and fate.
