To be completely honest, I was hesitant to pick up this book when I realized the protagonist, Mickey, was a police officer. There is some serious tension between the police and society right now and I didn't know if I could handle tackling that issue both in my "real" life and in my reading life. However, [a:Liz Moore|6879446|Liz Moore|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1484153944p2/6879446.jpg] does a fantastic job of highlighting the corruption that is present in the profession and does not paint all officers as "good guys" or "bad guys". This story mainly focuses on the rampant amount of opioid addiction in the Philadelphia suburbs. Mickey and her sister, Kacey, both grew up around drug users and even lost their mother to an opioid overdose. Their lives are shaped by these experiences, but their adult lives are dramatically different. Mickey becomes a police officer in order to provide for herself and her son. She regularly interacts with those who are drug users and responds to calls regarding overdoses. On the other hand, Kacey becomes addicted to opioids herself and eventually turns to sex work in order to afford her drug habits. When Mickey drives through the suburbs, she regularly sees her sister working the streets. The story begins when Mickey does not see her sister on her usual corner for a few weeks. She becomes worried that something has happened to Kacey, whether that is a fatal overdose or that she has become a victim to the spree killer the Philadelphia PD is looking for. Mickey sets out to find her sister and make sure she is okay. I really enjoyed this novel and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys suspenseful reads. All of the characters are really well developed and the plot kept me entertained throughout the entire story. Add this one to your list!
