Description
New grad student Katie Russell hears sounds of a violent struggle from a student’s apartment above her own. Upstairs, she finds Ava on top of her bed, naked and unconscious. After a young man threatens Katie and runs away, Katie takes Ava to the hospital for an invasive sexual assault exam. Ava’s inexplicable refusal to file a criminal complaint forces Katie to testify in a university hearing, one that results in meaningless sanctions. Outraged, Katie teams with a stalwart retired police detective in a perilous attempt to seek justice, and takes a clandestine job within the police department. As she searches for another victim, one willing to testify in court, she confronts issues of Title IX, rape culture, criminal law, and a university administration that prefers student sexual assaults remain secret. In the book’s urgent climax, Katie is drawn into the case on a personal level, with more than justice on the line.
