Synopsis

The hotly-anticipated YA crime thriller debut from bestselling and award-winning author, Jennifer Pearson. Perfect for fans of Holly Jackson and Ravena Guron.

When Blair Baker, pop-star and global sensation, rises high above the stage for the opening number of her triumphant hometown gig, the crowd erupts in applause. Then come the screams...The shocking revelation that music's brightest star has been murdered rocks the world. But for her younger sister, Stevie, the tragedy is more than a headline – it's personal.

What begins as a search for answers quickly turns into a dangerous journey through the toxic underbelly of fame. And as Stevie peels back the layers of who her sister really was, she begins to uncover dark secrets closer to home.
