<b><b><b>ONE OF BARACK OBAMA&apos;S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR<br /><br />NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR, <i>PARADE, REAL SIMPLE, </i>and BUZZFEED</b><br /><br />AN INSTANT <i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER<br /><br />A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK</b><br /></b><br /><b>"[Moore’s] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates <i>Long Bright River</i> from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love.” <i>– The New York Times Book Review</i> </b><br /><b>  </b><br /><b>"This is police procedural and a thriller par excellence, one in which the city of Philadelphia itself is a character (think Boston and <i>Mystic River</i>). But it’s also a literary tale narrated by a strong woman with a richly drawn personal life – powerful and genre-defying.” – <i>People</i></b><br /> <b><i> </i></b><br /> <b>"A thoughtful, powerful novel by a writer who displays enormous compassion for her characters. <i>Long Bright River</i> is an outstanding crime novel… I absolutely loved it."<br /> —Paula Hawkins, #1 <i>New York Times-</i>bestselling author of <i>The Girl on the Train</i><br /><br /> Two sisters travel the same streets, though their lives couldn&apos;t be more different. Then one of them goes missing.</b><br /><br />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&apos;t speak anymore, but Mickey never stops worrying about her sibling. <br /><br />Then Kacey disappears, suddenly, at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey&apos;s district, and Mickey becomes dangerously obsessed with finding the culprit--and her sister--before it&apos;s too late.<br /><br />Alternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters&apos; childhood and adolescence, <i>Long Bright River </i>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.
