“Moore’s characters are memorable, and their crusade to seek justice for the murder of a vulnerable boy will resonate with readers… [This] dark thriller illuminates the terrifying reality of L.A.’s criminal world.” — BookLife Reviews

Some stories don’t end with a kiss.

Some women don’t wait to be awakened.

Los Angeles is sweltering through Holy Week when a teenage hustler named Kiddy is murdered on Hollywood Boulevard in broad daylight. The investigation pulls Detective Joanna Steele into a conspiracy that reaches from Hollywood’s shadows to the highest levels of power.

Mia More is on the verge of superstardom when Kiddy crosses her path. What begins as concern becomes something far more love, responsibility, and a fierce protective instinct that pulls her back into a world she once escaped. To save him, she may have to risk everything… including her life.

Lana DeMille drifts through Los Angeles with a fractured memory and nowhere left to land. Somewhere in the gaps of what she’s forgotten lies the truth about what happened to Kiddy—if she can piece together what she saw before the killer remembers her.

As the investigation tightens and the body count rises, the line between victim and predator blurs. In this dark, fierce reimagining of Sleeping Beauty, three women awaken to a truth someone will kill to keep buried—in a city where the most dangerous stories are the ones no one lives to tell.

“A procedural mystery with…a satisfying payoff. … Moore portrays the three women with distinct sympathy, and their arcs toward agency end with scenes of genuine feeling.” — Kirkus Reviews
