Missing White Woman

＂It was supposed to be a romantic getaway weekend in New York City. Breanna’s new boyfriend, Ty, took care of everything--the train tickets, the dinner reservations, the rented four-story luxury row house in Jersey City with a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline. But when Bree comes downstairs on their final morning, she’s shocked. There’s a stranger lying dead in the foyer, and Ty is nowhere to be found. A Black woman alone in a new city, Bree is stranded and out of her depth--especially when it becomes clear that the dead woman is none other than Janelle Beckett, a missing white woman the entire internet has become obsessed with. There’s only one person Bree can turn to: her ex-best friend, a lawyer with whom she shares a very complicated past. As the police and social-media mob close in, all looking for #Justice4Janelle, Bree realizes that the only way she can help Ty--and herself--is to figure out what really happened that night. But when people see only what they want to see, can she uncover the truth hiding in plain sight?＂--Jacket flap.
