The spotlight casts a long shadow.
Rebecca Ziel is in her mid-30s, and life looks nothing like she once imagined. When a much-needed vacation with her best friend is canceled so she can ready a house for sale, the disappointment is almost expected. But this isn't just any house; it's a multi-million dollar property belonging to B*Sweet, the world's biggest pop star...of 1999.
The sprawling estate, once a symbol of the performer's explosive fame, is being slowly strangled by a tangle of trees, leaving it a hollow reminder of what once was. After a decade under the conservatorship of her father, B_Sweet is desperate and disillusioned, an addict clinging to the past. As rumors of a comeback album and a tell-all memoir ripple through social media, toxic friends, manipulative family members, and opportunistic paparazzi circle her like sharks, while B_Sweet's increasingly erratic behavior hints that the quiet conflict over what's left of the star's legacy is about to get loud.
When B*Sweet vanishes and her ghostwriter is found dead, Rebecca must decide: stick to the job she was sent to do, or risk everything to uncover the truth.
Can Rebecca find the missing singer and hold the guilty to account, or will she drown in the darkness of a world she doesn't fully understand?
For fans of literary mystery thrillers with complex female leads and dark celebrity secrets.
Trigger warnings: Contains themes of trauma, addiction, mental illness, and scenes of violence
