Entre las sombras de la noche

Mottley, Leila

Kiara Johnson doesn't know what it's like to have the life of a normal seventeen-year-old girl. With her mother in a halfway house after getting out of prison and her older brother who only dedicates his time and her money to a recording studio, she has to fend for herself; She also tries to help Trevor, a nine-year-old boy whose mother keeps disappearing for several days in a row whenever she feels like it. When the landlord of her apartment block threatens to raise their rent, Kiara ends up wandering the streets at night, determined to survive in a world that refuses to protect her. One night, Kiara is caught by two police officers, and the gruesome deal they offer her in exchange for her freedom causes her to find herself caught in the eye of a media hurricane. If she agrees to testify before a grand jury, she could help uncover the gruesome corruption of a police department. However, the truth hurts, and the price she must pay could expose her family to reprisals from the agents and endanger all of her loved ones.
