Despite having quite different lifestyles, two sisters share the same streets. One of them then vanishes.
Once-inseparable sisters in a Philadelphia neighbourhood ravaged by the drug epidemic come to blows. One, named Kacey, is homeless due to an addiction. Mickey, the other, follows her police beat through the same streets. Even though they no longer communicate, Mickey's worries for her brother never go away.
Then, abruptly, Kacey vanishes, coinciding with the start of an enigmatic run of killings in Mickey's neighbourhood. This drives Mickey to become dangerously fixated with locating her sister and the murderer before it's too late.
Long Bright River is simultaneously heart-pounding and heart-wrenching: a gripping suspense novel that is also a moving story of sisters, addiction, and the powerful ties that persist between place, family, and fate. It does this by alternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters' childhood and adolescence.
