A thrilling new novel of love, murder and the ties that bind a community together - or tear it apart.

In the wealthy enclave of Park Slope, the Harris family has it all: the high-status lifestyle, the designer clothes, the priceless connections. Shayla is the perfectly polished influencer wife to financier Dom, and their ten-year-old son Adam lives the picture of a charmed childhood.

Then tragedy strikes – their housekeeper, Nelcie, is found dead in the Brooklyn brownstone. Adam, alone in the house with her, becomes the number one suspect. Devastated, Shayla must confront the possibility that her beloved child might be capable of such violence.

A world away, on the other side of Prospect Park, Nelcie’s grieving daughter Renée is also desperate for answers. She knows her mother’s death was no accident. Theres something rotten in the Harris household - and shes going to get to the bottom of it.

The two women’s search for the truth brings them into each other’s orbit – and closer and closer to the dangerous secrets both are hiding. They must face the question: Could Adam actually be guilty of such a heinous crime? Or is he yet another young Black boy being targeted by a rigged system?
