Summary
Summary
An An Oprah Daily Pick of Diverse Crime Books by Women Authors
A BookRiot Pick of New Books
A Hollywood has-been, Sarah Lai’s dreams of success behind the camera have been put to the wayside. Now a lecturer at an obscure college, this former producer wants nothing more than to forget those youthful ambitions and push aside any feelings of regret…or guilt.
But when a journalist reaches out to her to discuss her own experience working with the celebrated film producer Hugo North, Sarah can no longer keep silent. This is her last chance to tell her side of the story and maybe even exact belated vengeance.
As Sarah recounts the industry’s dark and sordid secrets, however, she begins to realize that she has a few sins of her own to confess. Now she must confront her choices and ask herself, just who was complicit?
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Winnie M Li explores the collateral damage of assault on both victims and witnesses…Like the best filmmakers, Li draws you to the edge of your seat and keeps you there. She also makes you think about how far you’d go to protect your own job.” —New York Times Book Review
“Simply brilliant…Will touch the hearts of anyone who’s made choices that they later regret. Like the fallout from the #MeToo movement, this story will resonate for years to come.” —J. T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author
“A devastating and timely portrait of the abuse of power within a highly charged and often frightening workplace. I loved it.” —Sarah Pearse, New York Times bestselling author
“Li thrusts the reader into the film industry’s dark and deep-seated culture of rampant sexism and unbridled male ego…and the terrible cost of staying silent. An utterly compelling read.” — Liv Constantine, author of The last Mrs. Parrish
