Elly Griffith described this Good Housekeeping Book of the Year as 'spellbinding' and Marian Keyes as 'unusual, beautiful, feminist, gripping, deserves to win prizes. I loved it so much.' It is a brave and timely novel which will fuel the debate on women's rights to walk safely through our streets and is not just another crime fiction novel about a dead girl. When she arrived in New York on her 18th birthday carrying nothing but $600 cash and a stolen camera, Alice was looking for a fresh start. Now just one month later she is the city's latest Jane Doe, an unidentified murder victim. Ruby Jones is also trying to start over. She travelled halfway round the world only to find herself lonelier than ever, until she finds Alice Lee's body by the Hudson River. From this first, devastating encounter, the two women form an unbreakable bond. Alice is sure that Ruby is the key to solving the mystery of her life - and death, and Ruby, struggling to forget what she saw that morning finds herself unable to let Alice go. Not until she is given the ending she deserves. With luminous prose, this is a brilliantly clever and original novel and a lyrical story of friendship from beyond the grave. 322pp, paperback with fairly large print.
