Publisher's summary

"I was knocked over by the momentum of an intense psychological thriller that doesn’t let go until the final page. This is a terrific read." (Alafair Burke, New York Times best-selling author)

Rear Window meets Get Out in this gripping thriller from a critically acclaimed and New York Times Notable author, in which the gentrification of a Brooklyn neighborhood takes on a sinister new meaning....

Sydney Green is Brooklyn born and raised, but her beloved neighborhood seems to change every time she blinks. Condos are sprouting like weeds, FOR SALE signs are popping up overnight, and the neighbors she’s known all her life are disappearing. To hold onto her community’s past and present, Sydney channels her frustration into a walking tour and finds an unlikely and unwanted assistant in one of the new arrivals to the block - her neighbor, Theo.

But Sydney and Theo’s deep dive into history quickly becomes a dizzying descent into paranoia and fear. Their neighbors may not have moved to the suburbs after all, and the push to revitalize the community may be more deadly than advertised.

When does coincidence become conspiracy? Where do people go when gentrification pushes them out? Can Sydney and Theo trust each other - or themselves - long enough to find out before they too disappear?

Fiction, FACTS and definitely a Thriller

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

I went too fast! I was not ready for the twists and turns to end. I thought I had all the bad guys figured out but did not know how vast a cesspool they had.

The ending was just as it should have been; the community as a family.

thriller justice

who knew you could learn so much history and understand racial and equity specifically in neighborhoods and still have a mysterious thriller element? a super fun listen but also made me connect some important historical dots

Slow than Fast

The first half of this book is almost boring but as other readers have mentioned the ending is crazy fast.

I Would Have Never Guess!

This was a powerful and enjoyable book. The title will have you to assume that the book will probably be a typical murder mystery…NOT! The storyline will surprise you!

Couldn't Stop!

I loved the storyline! The performance was amazing and draws listeners in... I had to sit in my car for endless chapters simply to find out WHAT'S NEXT?? The history tied in with the gentrification is so prevalent in today's urban areas it was bone-chilling to hear the extremes these racist, criminals were going to. Yet VERY believable and unfortunately frightening with what is going on in the world currently!! GREAT BOOK..Definitely worth a listen!
