Five months after the Shelter Island tragedy, Wally Stoneman is trying to hold it together as a young, emancipated sixteen-year-old. She spends her nights alone in her hip but empty rooftop apartment in Brooklyn, and her days working for the Ursula Society, an organization that solves missing persons cases the police have long forgotten.
All the while, Wally has been tracking the one person she longs to locate more than anyone: her fugitive brother, Tiger, who’s been on the run since Wally last saw him on Shelter Island. But Wally isn’t the only one after Tiger—so is the notorious criminal Archer Divine, as well as the siblings’ sadistic father, Klesko, who is also at large. Will Wally’s involvement with the brother she’s waited her whole life to find be tainted by her father’s desire for revenge?
In this suspenseful young adult thriller, a young teenager navigates the gritty streets of New York City in pursuit of answers to her mysterious past.

Wally was born in Russia and adopted by a wealthy New York City family. At fifteen, she traded her life of privilege for the gritty streets of Manhattan.
A year later, Wally has stumbled across a clue to a secret that will change her life forever: She’s the daughter of Klesko, a notorious Russian gangster. And now Klesko is headed straight for New York to reclaim the fortune Wally’s birth mother stole from him long ago.
Wally will stop at nothing to find her birth mother before Klesko does—because if he finds her, he’ll seek brutal vengeance. But Wally’s had her own killer training, and she’s hungry for justice.
Can Wally find—and save—her mother before Klesko kills them both?
