Fans of Megan Miranda and Jessica Knoll will like this twisting, voice-driven thriller, in which a Black reality TV star is discovered dead in the Bronx and nobody seems to care—that is, until her estranged half-sister, who follows her on a perilous quest for the truth after refusing to accept the official narrative.
The police and media promptly call Desiree Pierce's death an overdose when her corpse is discovered on a Bronx playground the morning after her 25th birthday celebration. Pierce is a disgraced reality TV star. It's not a crime, but it is undoubtedly a tragedy.
But Desiree’s half-sister Lena Scott knows that can’t be the case. Lena, a doctorate student at Columbia, has been blazing her own path away from the limelight for the last ten years, but certain things about Desiree haven't changed since they were kids. Desiree would also never go further than 125th Street. Why, then, is no one taking notice of her?
Lena is resolved to find justice for her sister, even if it means uncovering her family's darkest secrets or risking her own death, despite the painful reality that the two haven't spoken in two years due to Desiree's partying and their father Mel, a powerful and wealthy hip-hop mogul.
