November 2001: Chloe Harlow wakes up late, with hazy memories of last night’s party but no recollection of how she got back to her Brooklyn apartment. Ever since the terrifying and catastrophic terrorist attack two months ago, she has been on a collision course with destruction.    When she finally arrives at the exclusive Upper East Side art gallery where she works, a pair of NYPD detectives greet her, also very curious to know how her evening ended…because the host of the party, a rising painter and the gallery’s newest artist, is dead.    Navigating both the sophisticated high-stakes art world and her personal life in burgeoning Williamsburg, Chloe struggles to piece together a complete picture of that lost night. As she digs deeper, inconsistencies emerge between what she remembers and what people tell her actually happened, and more questions are raised. Everything begins to feel like a conspiracy—and maybe it is. Because in this “taut, tightly plotted thriller ride” (Sophie Stava, author of Count My Lies), Chloe is the only one who glimpses the secrets the murdered artist left behind, and the closer she gets to the truth…the more deadly it becomes.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57629219914101,"sku":"9781668093665","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781668093665.jpg?v=1791213445"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-kate-belli.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
