Lucinda has lived her whole life in the shadow of her glamorous and outgoing high-end model sister Viviana. But when Viviana suddenly disappears on a trip to São Paulo, Lucinda drops everything to track her down. Met with indifference from the police, Lucinda joins forces with Viviana's girlfriend Graziane to launch her own investigation. When she discovers that her sister had a thriving career as a sex worker, the list of possible suspects widens. Then a cryptic text suggests that Viviana is still alive but being held hostage. With the minutes ticking by, Lucinda and Graziane must track down the men from Viviana's past to discover who might want to do her harm. A furiously contemporary and vibrant thriller that crackles with danger.
'With shades of Thelma And Louise, this is a high-octane, daring thriller to watch out for' - Stylist
''This is not your average neo noir'' - Times and Sunday Times Crime Club
'It's cheering to see thriller writers give their female protagonists agency, determination and physical prowess... [Simone Campos] brings an original and welcome new voice' - Financial Times
'Gritty, raw, and utterly fascinating... so much more than a story of a missing woman. It's about the power of sex, femininity, and the seedy underbelly of beauty when it's a commodity. A fast-paced and gripping thriller that explores race, class, family dynamics, and identity, this is an absolutely enthralling read.' - Samantha M. Bailey, international bestselling author of WOMAN ON THE EDGE and WATCH OUT FOR HER
'Real, flawed, complex women. Loved the fury. Felt totally different from most thrillers - in a good way & a totally different world.' - Tina Baker, author of Nasty Little Cuts
