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.
