THE INSPIRATION FOR THE PEACOCK TV SERIES STARRING AMANDA SEYFRIED

ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR--BY THE AUTHOR OF THE GOD OF THE WOODS

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK

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.

"[Moore's] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates Long Bright River from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love." - The New York Times Book Review

"This is police procedural and a thriller par excellence, one in which the city of Philadelphia itself is a character (think Boston and Mystic River). But it's also a literary tale narrated by a strong woman with a richly drawn personal life - powerful and genre-defying." - People

"A thoughtful, powerful novel by a writer who displays enormous compassion for her characters. Long Bright River is an outstanding crime novel... I absolutely loved it."
--Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Girl on the Train

Liz Moore, a journalism graduate of Kansas State University, worked for ten years for daily and weekly newspapers in Kansas and Texas, where she won awards for her reporting, editing, and photography. She relocated to Texas and devoted her professional life to non-profit public relations, which provided her with a nice condo in a Fort Worth suburb and, eventually, two cats instead of one. Liz also spent five years in Washington, D.C. Liz chose her next phase of life, returning to the little town, because she was tired of cities and had finally written this novel. She has lived in Independence, her hometown and place of pre-college education, since 2008. She is the executive director of Independence Main Street, a program dedicated to conserving a historic downtown's beauty while also promoting its economic vibrancy.
