Description
In 1989, ten-year-old Suzanne is pulled into her father’s forbidden orbit of guitars, speed, and the promise of belonging—only to become entangled in a band’s rise that turns deadly and leaves her with a secret she can’t outrun. Twenty-nine years later, when her father’s death cracks open the past she buried, Suzanne abandons the life she built and hits the road with unlikely companions, chasing the truth behind the violence that shaped her. As she reconnects with the hunger and chaos she once tried to forget, a relentless pursuit forces her to confront not only what happened, but who she became to survive it. With M.L. Rio’s sharp, propulsive storytelling and vivid rock-and-roll atmosphere, this novel blends mystery, coming-of-age echoes, and themes of memory, agency, and the cost of reinvention—where the road offers answers, but also demands a reckoning.
