Pip Fitz-Amobi swore she was done with detective work. The case that made her a local celebrity nearly cost her everything, and she has promised herself, her family, and Ravi Singh that she will not go looking for trouble again. But when Jamie Reynolds, the older brother of her friend Connor, disappears the night of the town's memorial for the Bell and Singh case, the police treat him as an adult who simply walked away, and no one else will look for him.
So Pip does. This time she brings her audience with her, documenting the search in real time on her true-crime podcast as the episodes climb the charts. Following Jamie's last movements pulls her into a tangle of secret online relationships, a controversial figure from the town's past, and a stalker whose obsession may have turned deadly. The larger her platform grows, the more the investigation escapes her control, and the more she has to weigh how much of other people's pain she is willing to broadcast.
The second book in Holly Jackson's bestselling trilogy deepens Pip's story with darker stakes and sharper questions about the ethics of true crime. It is a fast, twisting mystery that sets up the series' devastating finale while standing as a gripping disappearance case in its own right.
