Dope - Sara Gran

Josephine Flannigan should be dead by now from an overdose, or a cop's bullet, or run down in some back alley. But, after a childhood in Hell's Kitchen and a lifetime on drugs, by 1950 she's finally cleaned up her act and gotten out of trouble, or so she thinks. From the author of Come Closer and the Claire DeWitt series comes a highly acclaimed--and unusual--gritty thriller about a missing girl... and the addict tasked with saving her. Josephine, a former addict, is offered a thousand dollars to find a suburban couple's missing daughter. But the search will take her into the dark underbelly of New York she thought she'd escaped--and a web of deceit that threatens to destroy her.
