To søstre færdes i de samme gader, men deres liv kunne ikke være mere forskellige. En dag forsvinder den ene. Micaela ‘Mickey’ Fitzpatrick er i begyndelsen af 30’erne og enlig mor. Hun har patruljeret i Philadelphias 24. distrikt i flere år, og hun er på fornavn med de prostituerede og misbrugerne, der hænger ud på The Ave. Opioidkrisen hærger byen, og ofrene for overdosis bliver stadig flere. Hver gang hun hører om et nyt dødsfald, frygter hun, at det er lillesøsteren Kacey, som er død. De to har ikke været på talefod i flere år, og kollegerne i politiet kender ikke til deres relation, men Mickey bekymrer sig konstant om sin søster. Da Kacey forsvinder, samtidig med at en række prostituerede bliver fundet dræbt i distriktet, begynder Mickey en desperat jagt. En jagt, som udsætter hendes femårige dreng Simon for fare, og som kaster nyt lys over de to søstres barndom. Den lange lysende flod er både en rå og intens thriller og et bevægende familiedrama om misbrug, prostitution og søskendekærlighed. Umulig at lægge fra sig, umulig at glemme.

«... en bok som kryper under huden og blir værende der lenge.» Elin Brend Bjørhei, VG (Terningkast 6) Mickey Fitzpatrick har patruljert 24. distrikt i Philadelphia i flere år, og er på fornavn med de prostituerte og narkomane i The Ave. Opioidkrisen herjer byen, og overdoseofrene blir stadig flere. Hver gang hun blir varslet om et nytt dødsfall, frykter hun at det er lillesøsteren, Kacey, som er død. De to har ikke vært på talefot på flere år, og kollegaene i politiet vet ikke om forbindelsen, men Mickey uroer seg konstant for søsteren sin. Da Kacey forsvinner samtidig med at en rekke gateprostituerte blir funnet drept i distriktet, begynner Mickey på en stadig mer desperat jakt. En jakt som setter både jobben hennes og gutten hun er alenemor for, i fare, og som kaster lys over de to søstrenes barndom. Lang lysende elv er en rå og gripende thriller om misbruk, prostitusjon og søskenkjærlighet. «Utrolig skremmende. Lang lysende elv er riktignok en seriemorderthriller med en overraskende vri mot slutten, men boka er like mye en sjeldent inntrengende skildring av fattigdommens og håpløshetens USA.» Cathrine Krøger, Dagbladet (Terningkast 6) «Gripende om samfunnsproblemer og korrupsjon i amerikansk storby. (...) dette er mye mer enn en politiroman, det er først og fremst en roman om den lange, lysende elva av fortapte sjeler som alle de narkomane utgjør. Mickey er en grundig forteller, men hun holder igjen, og hver gang vi tror vi vet alt, avsløres nye lag i historien for oss.» Marit Egaas, Stavanger Aftenblad (Terningkast 5) «Den er blant de beste jeg har lest i år.» Leif Ekle, NRK «Rystende lesning. Unødvendig, håper jeg, å si at skumlesing forbudt.» Arild Rønsen, Nettavisen

__________________________________'A remarkable novel, elegant, wise, and beautifully constructed.' Roddy DoyleTommy Mays, Titan Records' biggest act, is verging on a mid-life crisis;

Mickey Fitzpatrick has been patrolling the 24th District for years. She knows most of the working women by name. She knows what desperation looks like and what people will do when they need a fix. She's become used to finding overdose victims: their numbers are growing every year. But every time she sees someone sprawled out, slumped over, cold to the touch, she has to pray it's not her sister, Kacey. When the bodies of murdered sex workers start turning up on the Ave, the Chief of Police is keen to bury the news. They're not the kind of victims that generate a whole lot of press anyway. But Mickey is obsessed, dangerously so, with finding the perpetrator - before Kacey becomes the next victim.

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE PEACOCK TV SERIES STARRING AMANDA SEYFRIED ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR--BY THE AUTHOR OF THE GOD OF THE WOODSAN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICKTwo sisters travel the same streets, though their lives couldn't be more different. Then one of them goes missing. In a Philadelphia neighborhood rocked by the opioid crisis, two once-inseparable sisters find themselves at odds. One, Kacey, lives on the streets in the vise of addiction. The other, Mickey, walks those same blocks on her police beat. They don't speak anymore, but Mickey never stops worrying about her sibling. Then Kacey disappears, suddenly, at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey's district, and Mickey becomes dangerously obsessed with finding the culprit--and her sister--before it's too late. 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. " Moore's] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates Long Bright River from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love." - The New York Times Book Review "This is police procedural and a thriller par excellence, one in which the city of Philadelphia itself is a character (think Boston and Mystic River). But it's also a literary tale narrated by a strong woman with a richly drawn personal life - powerful and genre-defying." - People "A thoughtful, powerful novel by a writer who displays enormous compassion for her characters. Long Bright River is an outstanding crime novel... I absolutely loved it."--Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Girl on the Train

Silence, No More is a collection of poetry and short stories, written for anyone who has ever been silenced from sharing their inner thoughts and feelings. Using personal experience and the experiences of others as my guide, I shared the truth as modestly as I could. The sad and happy times. The stories - the words and pictures that have been hidden behind masks are now coming to the light. No more pretending. No more masks. No more bondage. This book was written to inspire personal freedom. I invite you to join me on the journey. No more silence. Silence, No More. Peace and love. Liz Moore

From the acclaimed author of Long Bright River and Heft, a novel that allows us to take a peek behind the curtain of the music industry Liz Moore shows us the inner workings of an industry we've been fascinated with for decades. In these fourteen linked episodes, we meet a cast of characters from all the corners of the industry that we've come to glamourize.

Set in the sleek offices, high-tech recording studios, and grungy downtown clubs of New York, The Words of Every Song offers an authenticity drawn from Liz Moore's own experience and brings an insider's touch to its depiction of the music industry and its denizens.
