Invisible City, Julia Dahl

At the tender age of six months old, Rebekah Roberts lost her mother. Aviva went back to the Hasidic faith she’d struggled to break free from and Rebekah never forgave or forgot her.

23 years later Rebekah, now a stringer for the NY Tribune is called to report on a murder. The victim, Rivka Mendelssohn is removed from the crime scene by Hasidics and Rebekah, aided by an old friend of her mother’s is drawn into their closed world, where people like her mother suffocated under the secretive religion and mental disorders are allowed to run unchecked.

The story has everything a cub reporter could need to make their career, corruption, murder, madness but will Rebekah break the story before it breaks her?
