Creators: Liked "Suzy Park is a twenty-nine-year-old Korean-American interpreter for the New York City courts. During one court case she inadvertently makes a startling and ominous discovery about her family's history that will send her on a chilling quest. Five years earlier, her parents - hardworking greengrocers who forfeited personal happiness for their children's gain - were brutally murdered in an apparent robbery of their store. Or so Suzy believed. But now the glint of this new lead entices Suzy into a dangerous Korean underworld in the hope of unraveling the mystery of her parents' homicide.". "Then come the hang-up calls on her answering machine and the anonymous delivery of irises on the anniversary of her parents' death. Suzy tries to reach her estranged sister, Grace, only to find that she has vanished. Grace was last seen renting a boat in Montauk. As Suzy searches for clues to her sister's disappearance, she finds both trails converging to reveal a devastating new perspective on her family's secret past."--BOOK JACKET.

Marisha PesslA darkly funny coming-of-age novel and a richly plotted suspense tale told through the distinctive voice of its heroine, Blue van Meer. After a childhood moving from one academic outpost to another with her father (a man prone to aphorisms and meteoric affairs), Blue is clever, deadpan, and possessed of a vast lexicon of literary, political, philosophical, and scientific knowledge--and is quite the cinéaste to boot. In her final year of high school at the élite (and unusual) St. Gallway School in Stockton, North Carolina, Blue falls in with a charismatic group of friends and their captivating teacher, Hannah Schneider. But when the drowning of one of Hannah's friends and the shocking death of Hannah herself lead to a confluence of mysteries, Blue is left to make sense of it all with only her gimlet-eyed instincts and cultural references to guide--or misguide--her.--From publisher description.
