"A Junior Library Guild Selection" --Book jacket.

"Sixteen-year-old Beau Willet has dreams of being an artist and one day leaving the Chicago projects she's grown up in. But after her older sister, Katia, is killed by an off-duty police officer, Beau knows she has to clear her sister's name by finding the only witness to the murder--Katia's no-good boyfriend, Jordan, who has gone missing. With the help of her friend Sonnet, Beau starts looking for answers. But the more that Beau finds out about her sister's death, the more danger she finds herself in." --Adapted from book jacket.
