The Picture of Dorian Grey meets Nina LaCour in this paranormal exploration of things lost, found, and implaceable from Meriam Metoui, the author of A Guide to the Dark.
Inez is missing, but missing things can always be found.
Mae knows this as a fact, even though the investigation has come to a standstill, even though her parents are moving on. When she goes to clear out her older sister’s studio, she finds a mess of research and a white canvas that seems even older than the ornate frame it is set in. The closer Mae gets to the canvas, the more difficult it is to pull her eyes away from its mottled surface, its heavy layers of white paint, its peeling top corner she is tempted to pull to see what’s beneath. But she doesn’t. Not yet.
Mae decides to trace her sister’s last steps in the hopes of finding answers, certain that Inez’s disappearance is related to the painting.
