Marlowe Rook returns to Port Mercy to bury her estranged mother and sell The Velvet Room, the rotting music bar that ruined their family.
But behind the stage lights and moulding walls, Celeste left more than debt. She left hidden evidence: missing women, old gig flyers, police reports that forgot too much, and a dead musician whose overdose was far too clean.
As Marlowe digs deeper, the town's respectable men start watching. Ronan Cross, the boy she never escaped, knows more than he will say. And a vanished singer named Lila Grey may have worn Marlowe's jacket the night everything changed.
Celeste was not mad.
Lila was not simply gone.
And Marlowe was never outside the story.
She was supposed to be next.
