Kiara y su hermano, Marcus, a duras penas subsisten en un complejo de apartamentos de East Oakland. Ambos han abandonado el instituto, ya que su familia está rota por la muerte y la prisión. Pero mientras Marcus se aferra a su sueño de convertirse en una estrella del rap, Kiara busca trabajo para pagar el alquiler (que ha aumentado más del doble) y para mantener protegido y alimentado al niño de nueve años de al lado, que ha sido abandonado por su madre. Una noche, lo que comienza como un malentendido con un extraño en estado de embriaguez se convierte en el trabajo que Kiara nunca imaginó ejercer, pero que ahora necesita con desesperación: la prostitución. Su mundo se transforma aún más cuando su nombre aparece en una investigación que la expone como la principal testigo en un escándalo masivo dentro del Departamento de Policía de Oakland. Una novela de una belleza natural, una intensidad electrizante y una vulnerabilidad penetrante que marca la impresionante llegada de una voz diferente a cualquier otra que hayamos leído antes.
Kiara and her brother, Marcus, are scraping by in an East Oakland apartment complex optimistically called the Regal-Hi. Both have dropped out of high school, their family fractured by death and prison. But while Marcus clings to his dream of rap stardom, Kiara hunts for work to pay their rent—which has more than doubled—and to keep the nine-year-old boy next door, abandoned by his mother, safe and fed. One night, what begins as a drunken misunderstanding with a stranger turns into the job Kiara never imagined wanting but now desperately needs: nightcrawling. Her world breaks open even further when her name surfaces in an investigation that exposes her as a key witness in a massive scandal within the Oakland Police Department. Rich with raw beauty, electrifying intensity, and piercing vulnerability, Nightcrawling marks the stunning arrival of a voice unlike any we have heard before.
