Kiara Johnson does not know what it is to live as a normal seventeen-year-old. With her mother in a rehab facility and an older brother who devotes his time and money to a recording studio, she fends for herself - and for nine-year-old Trevor, whose own mother is prone to disappearing for days at a time. As the landlord of their apartment block threatens to raise their rent, Kiara finds herself walking the streets after dark, determined to survive in a world that refuses to protect her. Then one night Kiara is picked up by Officers 601 and 190, and the gruesome deal she is offered in exchange for her freedom lands her at the centre of a media storm. If she agrees to testify in a grand jury trial, she could help expose the sickening corruption of a police department. But honesty comes at a price - one that could leave her family vulnerable to their retaliation, and endanger everyone she loves. Nightcrawling is an unforgettable novel about young people navigating the darkest corners of an adult world, told with a humanity that is at once agonising and utterly mesmerising. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Siblings $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Witnesses $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Scandals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Police $z Oakland $z Oakland $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Oakland (Calif.) $v Fiction. 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781526634542 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804011920.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=06CCCD502A8711EDB7025AE94EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
