Book overview
MONICA HARPER-JORDAN has built the life she's always wanted-her little piece of the American dream.
A respected attorney, devoted wife, and mother, Monica is named partner at a prestigious Black-owned law firm. But the celebration is short-lived. As she steps into her new role and leads a controversial acquisition, old insecurities resurface and tensions inside the firm begin to rise.
Then her assistant disappears.
Days later, the young woman is found dead.
Before Monica can make sense of the loss, her husband-a scientist conducting groundbreaking research-is critically injured in what police call a tragic accident.
Monica wants to believe them.
But too many questions remain unanswered.
As fear spreads across Richmond and a string of unsettling deaths rattles the city, Monica struggles to make sense of everything happening around her. And she knows the lengths some people will go to protect their secrets.
Now she must decide how much she's willing to risk for the answers she desperately needs-before everything she's fought to build is taken from her.
In a chaotic America where some things never change, SOMETHING STOLEN is a literary suspense novel about ambition, grief, family, the horrors we've learned to live with-and the price of refusing to look away.
