About the book
It’s May of ’68 in New York City, and twenty-two-year-old Freddie Riley is cycling home from her job as a bike messenger, unaware that her life is about to be upended. She walks into her apartment to find a stranger, lying dead, and her foster mother, Yvette, bleeding out on the floor. Yvette whispers a cryptic message that sets Freddie and her best friend and secret crush, Celia, on the run, careening from gritty old Times Square to the glamorous Cary Grant suite at the Warwick.
Freddie unleashes her considerable street-smarts and ingenuity to keep them one step ahead of their relentless pursuers, with the hope they can solve the mystery of Yvette's M**der before they both end up in serious, possibly deadly, trouble.
Race against time alongside a feisty heroine with a kickass attitude through the rough streets of 1968 New York City in a tale where the M**der is only the first thread of a secret everyone wants to keep buried forever.

About Erin Khar
Erin Khar is the author of the memoir Strung Out, of which The New York Times writes, "The thrill of an early Bret Easton Ellis novel — except Khar’s characters aren’t nihilists. Khar’s buoyant writing doesn’t get mired in her dark subject matter." Her long-running advice column, Ask Erin, lives on Substack and her debut novel, STILL A SUSPECT, will be out in early 2028 from Minotaur Books. When she’s not writing, Erin is probably watching Beverly Hills, 90210. She lives in New York City.
