Beschreibung
Two sisters travel the same streets,though their lives couldn't be more different.

Then one of them goes missing.

In a Philadelphia neighborhood rocked by the opioid crisis, two once-inseparable sisters find themselves at odds. One, Kacey, lives on the streets in the vise of addiction. The other, Mickey, walks those same blocks on her police beat. They don't speak anymore, but Mickey never stops worrying about her sibling.

Then Kacey disappears, suddenly, at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey's district, and Mickey becomes dangerously obsessed with finding the culprit-and her sister-before it's too late.

Alternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters' childhood and adolescence, Long Bright River is at once heart-pounding and heart-wrenching: a gripping suspense novel that is also a moving story of sisters, addiction, and the formidable ties that persist between place, family, and fate.

Zusammenfassung
SUBJECT MATTER AND HOOK: The opioid crisis has captured the attention of the entire nation. This novel puts a human face on the modern heroin crisis and its lasting impact on families. In addition, the book tackles subjects like poverty, gentrification, single-parent families, and suspicion of the police force.

WRITTEN WITH DEEP EMPATHY AND PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE: The story draws on the personal work Moore has done with the population on which the book centers. Moore spent months researching this material and on the streets of Philadelphia interviewing heroin addicts for a nonfiction book she worked on with a local photographer.

LITERARY SUSPENSE FOR A VERY BROAD AUDIENCE: Combines the suspense of the very best crime fiction with the emotional intimacy of a family story.

FIERCE BUZZ AND FILM DEAL: The auction for this book involved 10 imprints and went on for 2 days. Immediately upon our deal, Sony bought the film rights and signed the author as screenwriter with Amy Pascal and Neil Moritz producing.

A PHILADELPHIA STORY FOR US ALL: Liz Moore is doing for Philly what Dennis Lehane did for blue -collar Boston, or what Richard Price does for the Lower East Side.

BREAKOUT AUTHOR: Liz Moore is already a highly acclaimed, very connected literary writer. With this book she moves in a much more commercial direction but brings the same high standards of storytelling.
