Förlagets beskrivning
I found out my sister was back in New York from Instagram. I found out she'd died from the New York Daily News. No one bats an eye when a Black reality TV star Desiree Pierce is found dead on a playground in the Bronx after her 25th birthday party - except her estranged half-sister, whose refusal to believe the official story leads her on a dangerous search for the truth. The police and the media are quick to declare Desiree's death an overdose. It's a tragedy, certainly, but not a crime. But Desiree's half-sister Lena Scott knows that can't be the case. A graduate student at Columbia, Lena has spent the past decade forging her own path far from the spotlight, but some facts about Desiree just couldn't have changed since their childhood. Like that fact that Desiree would never travel above 125th Street. So why is no one listening to her? Despite the bitter truth that the two haven't spoken in two years - torn apart by Desiree's partying and by their father, Mel, a wealthy and influential hip-hop mogul - Lena becomes determined to find justice for her sister, even if it means untangling her family's darkest secrets - or ending up dead herself. 'A wholly captivating novel, one that grows more complicated - and tense - as the story unfolds. Loaded with twists and turns, this book will keep you guessing, and reading, until the last shocking page' Samantha Downing 'Kellye Garrett, a break-out star in crime fiction since her debut, has upped the ante with her latest, Like a Sister.

I'm happy to know that Kellye Garrett is just getting started. I can't wait to see what she does next' Laura Lippman 'Set in New York's seductively glamorous world of hip hop billionaires and dazzling reality stars, Like a Sister is a riveting, read-through-the-night thriller by a masterful storyteller. From the very first page to the jaw dropping finish, this is one you need to put at the top of your reading list' Liv Constantine 'Like a Sister is a marvel and a must-read story for the current moment. Garrett, with deft humor and a perfect eye for the blurred lines of social media and reality tv, has crafted a gripping narrative of domestic suspense which delivers hard, essential truths about race, class, and makes us question why some women's stories are too often disbelieved' Ivy Pochoda 'In death, reality star Desiree Pierce should be absolved of her sins, but instead has accumulated strikes against her character - unless her sister Lena can prove she was murdered.
