Details

A mysterious photograph. An unexplained death. A story that must be told—but this is not my story.   Julia White is struggling: her bartending job isn’t cutting it and her first book has sold hardly any copies. She’s broke, barely making ends meet, drowning in her late mother’s medical bills, and still reeling after a one-night stand with her ex-boyfriend, who’s now completely ghosted her. Enter Johnathan Aster, world-renowned photographer, with a proposal: he has a never-before-seen photograph of a woman jumping to almost certain death, clutching what appears to be a baby. And he wants Julia to research the story.   Alternating between present day and the past, the story unfolds at breakneck speed as Julia tries to find answers: who was the woman? Why would she kill herself? And what happened to the baby? Each detail she uncovers is more propulsive than the next, as Julia unravels the mystery surrounding the Fairchilds of Gra
