A terrifying political thriller with a powerful message about drugs and mass incarceration. For Michelle Mason, a single mistake means entanglement in a high-risk blackmail scheme. Brackmann’s characters, from cynical Michelle to villainous Gary to damaged Kaitlin, are layered and relatable. A compelling read and a thought-provoking story about the dangers of a broken system.
