Missing White Woman

The truth is never skin deep. It was supposed to be a romantic getaway weekend in New York City. Breanna's new boyfriend, Ty, took care of everything—the train tickets, the dinner reservations, the rented four-story luxury rowhouse in Jersey City with a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline.

But when Bree comes downstairs their final morning, Ty is nowhere to be found and there's a stranger dead in the foyer—the missing woman the entire Internet has become obsessed with: Janelle Beckett. Soon, both the police and an army of Internet sleuths are asking questions Bree doesn't know how to answer.

Desperate to find Ty and to keep her own secrets buried, Bree realizes there's only one person she can turn to: her ex-best friend, a lawyer with whom she shares a very complicated past.

Fierce, smart, and thrilling to the end, Missing White Woman not only explores "Missing White Woman" syndrome and traveling while Black, but deftly inverts the hallmarks of the domestic suspense genre to explore how well we can truly know the people we love. And what happens to these stories when seen through the eyes of a Black woman?
