THE DARK, SOPHISTICATED NEW THRILLER FROM THE AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF LIKE A SISTER.  'A compulsive page-turner with plenty of twists and turns you won't see coming. Kellye Garrett is a rising star, and Missing White Woman is her best one yet' HARLAN COBEN   It was supposed to be a romantic getaway to New York City. Breanna’s new boyfriend, Ty, took care of everything—the flights, the Broadway tickets, the four-story Jersey City rented rowhouse with the beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. But now there’s a recently missing white woman, Jessica Flynn, suddenly dead in the foyer. Ty’s disappeared, the entire Internet is trying to get #Justice4Jessica, and only one person can keep Breanna out of jail: her ex-best friend, a lawyer with whom she shares a very complicated past.   Exploring ‘Missing White Woman Syndrome’ and traveling while Black, Missing White Woman takes the hallmarks of the ever-popular domestic suspense genre—a beautiful blonde in danger, an upper class enclave, secrets locked behind closed doors—and asks what would happen if you told it from the perspective of a woman who feels she doesn’t belong.

But some things about Desiree couldn't have changed, even with time. Nobody is listening to her, but Lena is determined not to let anyone brush off her sister's death.
