一對姊妹,同一條街道,卻踏上了不同人生

 

肯辛頓,當你想尋找毒品或是娼妓時,絕非這裡莫屬。
然而你最不希望在這裡找到的,是你的親妹妹……


 
米可已經負責二十四區的巡邏任務好多年了,她幾乎可以叫出這裡所有娼妓的名字,看過太多毒癮者淒慘的模樣,也已經習慣發現用藥過量而致死的受害者們,而且這數量還在不斷攀升。但每一次,每一次當她發現那些橫躺在地上,已冰涼的屍體時,她內心都必須祈禱那不是她的妹妹──凱西。


 
費城肯辛頓區多年來籠罩在毒品氾濫的陰影中,米可一家也沒有逃過,吸毒過量身亡的母親、失蹤多年同時也是毒品成癮的父親。而現在,唯一的妹妹竟也成了娼妓,並染上毒品。毒癮妹妹、警察姊姊,手足之間越來越疏離,彼此不再有任何交集,她只能在巡邏時,透過他人了解妹妹的近況。


 
然而最近她卻打聽不到任何凱西的消息,似乎突然就這樣消失了。而同一時刻,在米可轄區中,接二連三地發現了性工作者們的屍體,種種跡象顯示出這似乎是一場連續殺人事件,但因受害者們的身分特殊,也不會特別遭到媒體注意,因此上頭指示下來,要將這連續殺人案冷處理。可是米可知道,她必須盡早找出這個兇手,在妹妹受害之前……


 
《燦亮長河》在當下的懸案與這對姊妹的童年與青春期之間來回切換,令人心跳狂飆,也叫人揪心:這是一部動人心魄的懸疑小說,也是一部感人至深的小說,探討了姊妹情誼、毒癮,以及永存於歸屬、家庭、命運之間的痛苦牽繫。

書評

"An instant sensation and the January pick for Good Morning America's book club." —Entertainment Weekly

 

"Navigates assuredly between the plot twists and big reveals. . . . Long Bright River is equal parts literary and thrilling." —O, The Oprah Magazine

 

"Tough, tense and twisty - but tender, human and deeply affecting, too ... I don't have a sister, but when I finished the book I called my brother, just to hear his voice."—Lee Child 

 

"Satisfyingly, the characters' interior lives are as important as the mysteries that propel the action." —NYT Editor's Choice

 

"Long Bright River— a book that has garnered much ­pre-publication buzz — nervously twists, turns and subverts readers' expectations till its very last pages. Simultaneously, it also manages to grow into something else: a sweeping, elegiac novel about a blighted city.”—The Washington Post

 

"Alternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters' childhood and adolescence, Long Bright River is at once heart-pounding and heart-wrenching: a gripping suspense novel that is also a moving story of sisters, addiction, and the formidable ties that persist between place, family, and fate.” —Good Morning America

 

"Truly, this is a great literary novel about a city in the age of opioids and two sisters navigating their past. And in the tradition of many great literary thrillers, I promise you, you will not see the end coming."—NPR

 

"Powerful." —The Wall Street Journal

 

"Moore’s observations are informed and compassionate… One of loveliest things about Long Bright River is that it's not a literary glorification of addiction."—The Guardian

 

"Thoughtfully explores the power of nature versus nurture, the pull of addiction, and, and the lengths we go to for family." —Marie Claire 

 

"An exquisite novel that dug its fingers into my heart and has refused to let go…I finished this novel shaken, both by its sheer emotional resonance and also because of how clear and familiar so much of what Moore describes feels to me.—Medium.com

 

"Pulsating with breathtaking suspense and boundless compassion, Long Bright River is the kind of genre-defying novel that, once the final chapters close, you instantly implore people to read. Topical yet timeless, its page-turning narrative wrestles with the fissures and wreckage that addiction can inflict on a family—and a city. Liz Moore is a force, and Long Bright River should be on top of everyone's to-read list come January.”—Forbes

 

"A propulsive thriller and a poignant family saga.”—Time Magazine

 

"Deftly plotted with strong, vivid characters, Liz Moore's outstanding Long Bright River works as solid crime fiction and an intense family thriller." —Associated Press 

 

"Liz Moore's Long Bright River is the perfect literary page-turner. It's a brilliantly plotted crime novel, yes, but it's also a story about the complicated push and pull of family, and how much of our childhood traumas we carry forward through our lives. Anyone with a mother, a father, a brother, or a sister – anyone with a heart, for that matter – will love this book, as I did." —Mary Beth Keane, New York Times bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes

 

"Liz Moore's Long Bright River is a riveting portrait of so many things—of grief, of sisterhood, of a neighborhood in despair. Moore makes you care about the people that society too often abandons and, in doing so, pulls off a hat trick of epic storytelling that is stigma-busting, love-rendering, and page-turning to the last word."— Beth Macy, New York Times-bestselling author of Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors, and the Drug Company That Addicted America

 

"A superlative crime novel. Set against the backdrop of Philadelphia's opioid crisis, this is not just a gripping mystery but a thoughtful, powerful novel by a writer who displays enormous compassion for her characters. Long Bright River is an outstanding crime novel, bringing to mind the best of Dennis Lehane or David Simon. I found myself eking out the final pages because I didn't want it to end. I absolutely loved it."—Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Girl on the Train

 

"Long Bright River is a remarkable, profoundly moving novel about the ties that bind and the irrevocable wounds of childhood. It's also a riveting mystery, perfectly paced. I loved every page of it."—Dennis Lehane, New York Times-bestselling author of Since We Fell

 

"Both sweeping and unbearably intimate, a riveting crime novel and a character-rich study of a city and its battered heart. And, in the way that Dennis Lehane anatomizes and explores his Boston, or Tana French her Dublin, Moore brings Philadelphia to vivid, wrenching life. Not to be missed."—Megan Abbott, author of You Will Know Me

 

"It was excellent." —Jami Attenberg, author of All This Could be Yours 

 

"Impossible to put down, impossible to forget." —Library Journal (*starred review)

 

"One of the pleasures of this deeply moving, absolutely page-turning novel is the way Moore, in both the present and in flashbacks to Mickey and Kacey's childhood and teen years, slowly peels back layer after layer, revealing the old-boy's network in the Philadelphia police force, the depths of Mickey's loneliness, and the way the city of Philadelphia, particularly Kensington, is woven into this story, for good or ill. Give this to readers who like character-driven crime novels with a strong sense of place."—Booklist (* starred review)

 

"Smartly crafted. . .Filled with strong characters and a layered plot, this will please fans of both genre and literary fiction." —Publishers Weekly
