- Cop sister hunting truths through opioid crisis
- Twists earned through shoe-leather detective work
- Urban decay mirrors institutional betrayal perfectly
If you loved peeling back the layers of institutional rot in Walk the Wire's fracking frontier, Long Bright River delivers that same slow-burn conspiracy fix—but this time, it's urban decay and pharmaceutical greed corroding Philadelphia's forgotten neighborhoods. Liz Moore gives you a street-smart cop navigating bureaucratic indifference and family fractures with the same grit Amos Decker brought to his cases, proving that intellect and instinct can crack systems built to protect the powerful.
This isn't a whodunit served cold—it's a procedural that escalates with earned twists, rewarding your attention to detail while exploring opioid devastation without turning preachy. Moore trusts you to connect the dots alongside her protagonist.
If Decker's edge kept you hooked, this cop's street-smart intuition will do the same.

"An extremely well-written, gut-wrenching, powerful story about addiction and the bond of sisters... The bond of sisterhood is a strong one. The pace and flow of the book was excellent - it kept me fully engaged from start to finish." — Lindsay L, Goodreads
